Esther 7:4-6

4for 1we have been soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, 2to 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 3troubleH6862 would not be commensurateH7737 with the 4annoyanceH5143 to the kingH4428.”

5Then KingH4428 AhasuerusH325 5askedH559 QueenH4436 EstherH635, “WhoH4310 is he, and whereH335 is he, 6whoH834 would presumeH4390H3820 to doH6213 thusH3651?”

6EstherH635 saidH559, “7A foeH6862 and an enemyH340 is thisH2088 wickedH7451 HamanH2001!” Then HamanH2001 became terrifiedH1204 beforeH4480H6440 the kingH4428 and queenH4436.
