Esther 8:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)When the king held out the golden scepter to Esther, Esther rose and stood before the king. 5 And she said, “If it please the king, (B)and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke (C)the letters devised by Haman (D)the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king. 6 For how can I bear (E)to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?”
