Esther 7:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ Esther replied, “The man—the adversary and foe—is this wicked Haman!”

Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. ⁷ Enraged, the king got up from the banquet of wine and withdrew to the palace garden. But Haman stayed behind to plead with Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king had determined a catastrophic end for him.

⁸ When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the same couch where Esther was. The king exclaimed, “Will he also assault the queen while she is with me in the palace?”

As soon as these words came out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
