Esther 8:5-6

5Then she said, “1If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the 2letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

6For 3how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?”
