Esther 7:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Then King Ahasuerus asked Queen Esther, “Who is it and where is the one who has done such a thing?”

⁶ Esther replied, “Our enemy is this wicked man Haman.”

In terror, Haman faced the king and queen. ⁷ The king got up in a rage, left his wine, and went out into the palace garden. But Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, since he feared that the king had already decided his fate.
