Esther 7:3-4 ▼

3 And Esther the queen answered and said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if upon the king it is good, let my soul be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;

4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be exterminated. And if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold, I would have kept silent, for the adversary is not equal in the damage of the king.”
