Esthgr 13:16
King James Version
“Despise not the portion, which thou hast delivered out of Egypt for thine own self.”
Context
13For I could have been content with good will for the salvation of Israel to kiss the soles of his feet.
14But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of man above the glory of God: neither will I worship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride.
15And now, O Lord God and King, spare thy people: for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought; yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance, that hath been thine from the beginning.
16Despise not the portion, which thou hast delivered out of Egypt for thine own self.
17Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inheritance: turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, O Lord, and praise thy name: and destroy not the mouths of them that praise thee, O Lord.
18All Israel in like manner cried most earnestly unto the Lord, because their death was before their eyes.
