Esther 8:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ Then Esther spoke again ^[a]to the king, fell at his feet, wept, and pleaded for his compassion to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews. ⁴ And ^(A)the king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther got up and stood before the king. ⁵ Then she said, “^(B)If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him, and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the ^(C)letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to eliminate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.
