Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
Then Mordecai sent this message back to Esther: 'Don't think that just because you live in the king's palace, you'll be safe when all the other Jews are in danger.'
Mordecai is warning Esther that her privileged position won't protect her from the danger threatening all Jewish people.
