Seeker Overlay ON
*
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews '
enemy unto Esther the queen .
And Mordecai came before the king ;
for Esther had told what he was unto her .
*
And the king took off his ring ,
which he had taken from Haman ,
and gave it unto Mordecai .
And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman .
*
And Esther spake yet again before the king ,
and fell down at his feet ,
and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite ,
and his device that he had devised against the Jews .
*
Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther .
So Esther arose ,
and stood before the king ,
*
And said ,
If it please the king ,
and if I have found favour in his sight ,
and the thing seem right before the king ,
and I be pleasing in his eyes ,
let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite ,
which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king '
s provinces :
*
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people ?
or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred ?
