Esther 7:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version

6 Esther said, “This hateful enemy is this evil Haman!” Haman was terrified in the presence of the king and the queen.

7 The king rose angrily from the place where they were drinking wine[a] and went to the palace garden. But Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, because he saw the king had evil plans for him.

8 Just as the king was returning from the palace garden to the hall where they had been drinking wine, Haman was falling onto the couch on which Esther was lying. The king said, “Will he even assault the queen when I am in the building?” As soon as the words left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.[b]
