Esther 7:2-4

2And the kingH4428 saidH559 to EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117 alsoH1571 1as they drankH4960 their wineH3196 at the banquetH4960, “2WhatH4100 is your petitionH7596, QueenH4436 EstherH635? It shall be grantedH5414 you. And whatH4100 is your requestH1246? 3EvenH5704 to halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be doneH6213.”

3Then QueenH4436 EstherH635 repliedH6030, “4IfH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, O kingH4428, and ifH518 it pleasesH2895 the kingH4428, let my lifeH5315 be givenH5414 me as my petitionH7596, and my peopleH5971 as my requestH1246;

4for 5we have been soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, 6to be killedH2026 and to be annihilatedH6. Now ifH432 we had only been soldH4376 as slavesH8198H5650, men and womenH8198, I would have remainedH2790 silentH2790, for the 7troubleH6862 would not be commensurateH7737 with the 8annoyanceH5143 to the kingH4428.”
