Esther 3:8-9

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; ^(A)their laws are different from those of all other people and they do not ^[a]comply with the king’s laws, so it is not in the king’s interest to let them remain. ⁹ If it is pleasing to the king, let it be ^[b]decreed that they be eliminated, and I will pay ^[c]ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry out the king’s business, to put into the king’s treasuries.”
