Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.
Now þerfor come thou, þat Y speke to my lord þe kyng this word, while þe puple is present; and thin handmaide seide, Y schal speke to þe kyng, if in ony maner þe kyng do þe word of his handmayde.
