Esther 7:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Then King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who dares to do such a thing? Where is this man?”

⁶ Esther answered, “Our enemy, our persecutor, is this evil man Haman!”

Haman faced the king and queen with terror. ⁷ The king got up in a fury, left the room, and went outside to the palace gardens. Haman could see that the king was determined to punish him for this, so he stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.
