Esther 8:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ How can I endure it if this disaster comes on my people, and my own relatives are killed?”

⁷ King Xerxes then said to Queen Esther and Mordecai, the Jew, “Look, I have hanged Haman for his plot against the Jews, and I have given Esther his property. ⁸ But a proclamation issued in the king's name and stamped with the royal seal cannot be revoked. You may, however, write to the Jews whatever you like; and you may write it in my name and stamp it with the royal seal.”
