The GEORGENEWS passage is from Esther 4

Queen Esther responded to Mordecai.
... "[H]old a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do.

"Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish."
AND IF I PERISH, I PERISH....
ESTHER REFUSED TO KEEP SILENT.
MAY WE ALL HAVE THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE OF ESTHER.
