Esther 8:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose and stood before the king.

⁵ And she said, If it pleases the king and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right before the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

⁶ For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come upon my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
