Esther 7:3-4
3Then Queen Esther answered, a“If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. 4 bFor we have been sold, I and my people, cto be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.”Isaiah 2:20-21
20 In that day dmankind will cast awaytheir idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the ebats,
21 fto enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
gwhen he rises to terrify the earth.
Jeremiah 41:8
8But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not put us to death, for we have hstores of wheat, barley, oil, and honey hidden in the fields.” So he refrained and did not put them to death with their companions.Matthew 6:25
Do Not Be Anxious
25 i“Therefore I tell you, jdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?Matthew 16:26
26For kwhat will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or lwhat shall a man give in return for his soul?Acts 27:18-19
18Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day mto jettison the cargo. 19And on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
