Additions to Esther 14:16-18

¹⁶ Thou knowest my necessity: for I abhor the sign of my high estate, which is upon mine head in the days wherein I shew myself, and that I abhor it as a menstruous rag, and that I wear it not when I am private by myself.

¹⁷ And that thine handmaid hath not eaten at Aman's table, and that I have not greatly esteemed the king's feast, nor drunk the wine of the drink offerings.

¹⁸ Neither had thine handmaid any joy since the day that I was brought hither to this present, but in thee, O Lord God of Abraham.
