Esther 7:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ My people and I have been sold for slaughter. If it were nothing more serious than being sold into slavery, I would have kept quiet and not bothered you about it;^[a] but we are about to be destroyed—exterminated!”

⁵ Then King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who dares to do such a thing? Where is this man?”

⁶ Esther answered, “Our enemy, our persecutor, is this evil man Haman!”

Haman faced the king and queen with terror.
