The Lord Will

Esther 4:16

β€œGo, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.”

KJV

Read in Esther 4

Meaning

Esther accepts the risk and asks the community to join her in a three-day fast before she approaches the king. Her statement 'If I perish, I perish' expresses resolve in the face of danger, not a celebration of recklessness or death.
