Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 4:14

14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place ▪ but thou and thy fathers house shall be destroyed : and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this ?

From another land, and by another means; which God can, and I am fully persuaded, will raise up.

By the righteous and dreadful judgment of God, punishing thy cowardize, and self-seeking, and thy want of love to God, and to his and thy own people.

It is probable God hath raised thee to this honour for this very season: and therefore go on couragiously, and doubt not of the success.
