Esther 7:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, slain, and wiped out of existence! But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I would have held my tongue, for our affliction is not to be compared with the damage this will do to the king.

⁵ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he who dares presume in his heart to do that?

⁶ And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and queen.
