God’s Word Translation
Esther 8:5-6
5She said, “Your Majesty, if it pleases you, and if I have found favor with you, if you consider my cause to be reasonable and if I am pleasing to you, cancel the official orders ⌞concerning⌟ the plot of Haman (who was the son of Hammedatha and was from Agag). He signed ⌞the order⌟ to destroy the Jews in all your provinces, Your Majesty.
6I cannot bear to see my people suffer such evil. And I simply cannot bear to see the destruction of my relatives.”
