Greek Esther 2:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Plot Discovered

¹⁹ Meanwhile, Mordecai was serving in the courtyard. ²⁰ Esther had not disclosed her country—such were the instructions of Mordecai; but she was to fear God and keep his laws, just as she had done when she was with him. So Esther did not change her mode of life.

²¹ Now the king’s eunuchs, who were chief bodyguards, were angry because of Mordecai’s advancement, and they plotted to kill King Artaxerxes.
