Esther 7:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ Esther replied, “This wicked Haman is our enemy.”

Then Haman grew pale with fright before the king and queen. ⁷ The king jumped to his feet and went out into the palace garden as Haman stood up to plead for his life to Queen Esther, for he knew that he was doomed. ⁸ In despair he fell upon the couch where Queen Esther was reclining, just as the king returned from the palace garden.

“Will he even rape the queen right here in the palace, before my very eyes?” the king roared. Instantly the death veil was placed over Haman’s face.
