And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.

And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?

Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
