Esther 7:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Esther replied, “An adversary and an enemy—it’s this wicked Haman!” So Haman was terrified before the king and the queen. ⁷ The king got up from the banquet in anger and went out to the palace garden, while Haman stood there begging Queen Esther to spare his life,^[a] because he realized that the king intended to harm him.^[b]

⁸ When the king returned to the banquet hall from the palace garden, Haman was prostrate on the couch where Esther was. The king asked, “Will this man^[c] even assault the queen with me in the house?” The king had no sooner spoken than they covered Haman’s face.
