Esther 7:1-6

1SoH935 the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to banquet with EstherH635 the queenH4436.

2And the kingH4428 saidH559 againH8145 unto EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117 at the banquetH4960 of wineH3196, WhatH4100 is thy petitionH7596, queenH4436 EstherH635? and it shall he grantedH5414 thee: and whatH4100 is thy requestH1246? evenH1571 to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be performedH5414.

3Then EstherH635 the queenH4436 answeredH559 and saidH559, IfH518 I have foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, O kingH4428, and ifH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, letH5414 my lifeH5315 be givenH5414 meH5414 at my petitionH7596, and my peopleH5971 at my requestH1246:

4for weH3588 are soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, to be slainH2026, and to perishH6. But ifH3588 weH3588 had been soldH4376 for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, althoughH3588 the adversary couldH5971 notH369 have compensated for the king’sH4428 damage.

5Then spake the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 and saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436, Who is he, and whereH834 is he, that durst presume in his heartH3820 to doH6213 soH3651?

6And EstherH635 saidH559, An adversary and an enemyH341, even this wickedH7451 HamanH2001. Then HamanH2001 was afraid beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the queenH4436.
