George Leo Haydock, on Esth 4:14

“For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father’s house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?”

“Occasion. Wonderful confidence! Greek, “if thou wilt not hearken (Calmet; to me; (Haydock) or, if thou obstinately despise) at this time, the Jews shall be assisted and protected by some,” &c. (Haydock) — As this. So Joseph was raised, in Egypt, (Calmet) that he might save all his family. (Haydock)”
