Esther 8:3-6

3And EstherH635 spake yet againH3254 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and fellH5307 downH5307 at his feetH7272, and besought him with tears to put awayH5307 the mischief of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his device that he had devisedH2803 againstH5921 the JewsH3064.

4Then the kingH4428 held outH6440 to EstherH635 the goldenH2091 sceptre. SoH6965 EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

5And sheH834 saidH559, IfH518 it please the kingH4428, and ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in his sightH5869, and the thingH1697 seemH5869 rightH5869 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and I be pleasing in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverseH7725 the lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of Hammedatha the AgagiteH91, whichH834 he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 whichH834 are in allH3605 the king’sH4428 provincesH4082:

6for howH349 canH3201 I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 canH3201 I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH7451 of my kindredH4138?
