Esther 8:4-6

41The kingH4428 extendedH3447 the goldenH2091 scepterH8275 to EstherH635. So EstherH635 aroseH6965 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

5Then she saidH559, “2IfH518 it pleasesH5921H2895 the kingH4428 and ifH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 beforeH6440 him and the matterH1697 seems properH3787 to the kingH4428 and I am pleasingH2896 in his sightH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to revokeH7725 the 3lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001, the sonH1121 of HammedathaH1992 the AgagiteH91, whichH834 he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 whoH834 are in allH3605 the king’sH4428 provincesH4082.

6For 4howH351 canH3201 I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the calamityH7463 whichH834 will befallH4672 my peopleH5971, and howH351 canH3201 I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH12 of my kindredH4138?”
