Esther 8:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ For ^(A)how can I endure to see the disaster which will happen to my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?” 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 they have hanged him on the wooden gallows because he had reached out with his hand against the Jews.

The King’s Decree Avenges the Jews

⁸ Now you write to the Jews ^[a]as you see fit, in the king’s name, and ^(C)seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s signet ring ^(D)may not be revoked.”
