Esther 7:4-6

4ForH3588 my peopleH5971 and IH589 have been sold outH4376 to destructionH8045, deathH2026, and annihilationH6. IfH432 we had merely been soldH4376 as menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH8198, I would have remained silentH2790, becauseH3588 noH369 such distressH6862 would justifyH7737 burdeningH5143 the kingH4428.”

5Then KingH4428 XerxesH325 spoke upH559 and askedH559 QueenH4436 EstherH635, “WhoH4310 is thisH2088, and whereH335H2088H1931 is the oneH1931 whoH834 wouldH4390H3820 deviseH62131 such a schemeH3651?”

6EstherH635H376 repliedH559, “The adversaryH6862 and enemyH341 is thisH2088 wicked manH7451—HamanH2001!”

And HamanH2001 stood in terrorH1204 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and queenH4436.
