Esther 7:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ “Who would dare to do such a thing?” the king asked.

⁶ Esther replied, “That evil Haman is the one out to get us!”

Haman was terrified, as he looked at the king and the queen.

⁷ The king was so angry that he got up, left his wine, and went out into the palace garden.

Haman realized that the king had already decided what to do with him, and he stayed and begged Esther to save his life.
