Esther 8:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ The king held out his gold sceptre towards Esther. So she stood up to speak to the king.

⁵ Esther said to the king, ‘I hope that I have pleased the king. If you agree, and if you are pleased with me, please make another law. Stop the command that Haman, the descendant of Agag, wrote. He sent letters to all the regions of your kingdom, because he wanted to destroy all the Jewish people. ⁶ I cannot let this evil thing happen to my relatives. I have to do something to stop it.’
