Esther 8:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 For how can I bear[a] to look on the disaster that will find my people, and how can I bear[b] to look on the destruction of my family?” 7 And King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I have given Haman’s house to Esther, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he plotted against[c] the Jews. 8 Write as you see fit[d] concerning the Jews in the name of the king, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
