3 Queen Esther answered: |If I've found favor with you, your majesty, and if it seems good to the king, let my life be given to me as my petition and my people as my request. 4 Indeed, I and my people have been sold to be annihilated, killed, and destroyed. If we had just been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because the trouble wouldn't have been sufficient to bother the king.| 5 Then King Ahasuerus asked Queen Esther, |Who is this, and where is the person who would dare do this?| 6 Esther replied, |An adversary and an enemy—it's this wicked Haman!| So Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
