(A)And as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king said to Esther, (B)“What is your wish? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? (C)Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.”[a] Then Esther answered, “My wish and my request is: (D)If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king[b] to grant my wish and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to (E)the feast that I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.”
