But the people said, “You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city.”

A copy of the edict to be issued as law in every province was published to all the peoples so that they should be ready for this day.

Let Your hand be ready to help me,For I have chosen Your precepts.

For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,That they may be ready on your lips.
