Esther 7:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had thrown himself on the couch on which Esther was reclining; and the king exclaimed, “Will he also violate the queen while she is with me in my own house!” Scarcely had the king spoken when the face of Haman was covered over.
Punishment of Haman. 9 (A)Harbona, one of the eunuchs who attended the king, said, “At the house of Haman stands a stake fifty cubits high. Haman made it for Mordecai, who gave the report that benefited the king.” The king answered, “Impale him on it.” 10 So they impaled Haman on the stake he had set up for Mordecai, and the anger of the king abated.

8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch(A) where Esther was reclining.(B)
The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”(C)
As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(D) 9 Then Harbona,(E) one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[a](F) stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”
The king said, “Impale him on it!”(G) 10 So they impaled(H) Haman(I) on the pole(J) he had set up for Mordecai.(K) Then the king’s fury subsided.(L)
