Greek Esther 8:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ How can I bear to watch the terrible evil about to sweep over my people? And how can I be delivered from the destruction of my people?”

Mordecai writes a new law

⁷ The king said to Esther, “I’ve given you everything Haman owned: I’ve favored you and impaled him on a pole because he planned to attack the Jews. ⁸ Write to the Jews in the king’s name whatever seems best to you and seal the letters with my royal ring. Anything written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s royal ring can’t be revoked.”
