Then they said {H559} one {H376} to another {H7453}, We do {H6213} not well: this day {H3117} is a day {H3117} of good tidings {H1309}, and we hold our peace {H2814}: if we tarry {H2442} till the morning {H1242} light {H216}, some mischief {H5771} will come {H4672} upon us: now therefore come {H3212}, that we may go {H935} and tell {H5046} the king's {H4428} household {H1004}.

Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the king’s household.”
