Esther 8:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Indeed, how can I bear to see this disaster happen to my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my kinsmen?”

⁷ King Ahasuerus told Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I’ve given Haman’s property^[a] to Esther, and they have hanged^[b] him on the pole because he tried to harm^[c] the Jewish people. ⁸ Now, in the name of the king, you write what seems good to you concerning the Jewish people, and seal it with the king’s signet ring, for a document written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
