Esther 8:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ For ^(A)how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall 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 him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands 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.”
