Esther 8:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 I cannot bear to see my people suffer such evil. And I simply cannot bear to see the destruction of my relatives.”
7 King Xerxes said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “I have given Haman’s property to Esther, and Haman’s ⌞dead body⌟ was hung on the pole because he tried to kill the Jews. 8 You write what you think is best for the Jews in the king’s name. Seal it also with the king’s signet ring, because whatever is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be canceled.”
