Esther 7:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, Your Majesty, spare my life. That is my request. And spare the life of my people.

If our men and women had only been sold as slaves, I would have kept silent because the enemy is not worth troubling you about, Your Majesty.”

⁵ Then King Xerxes interrupted Queen Esther and said, “Who is this person? Where is the person who has dared to do this?”
