The King’s Decree Avenges the Jews
7 So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, (B)I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the [a]gallows because he had sent forth his hand against the Jews. 8 Now you write to the Jews, according to what is good in your eyes, in the king’s name, and (C)seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a written decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s signet ring (D)may not be turned back.”
