Esther 8:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And Esther spake yet more before the King, and fell down at his feet weeping, and besought him that he would put away the [a]wickedness of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had imagined against the Jews.
4 And the King held out the golden [b]scepter toward Esther. Then arose Esther, and stood before the King,
5 And said, If it please the King, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the device of Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite may be called again, which he wrote to destroy the Jews, that are in all the King’s provinces.
