Esther 7:8

New Catholic Bible

⁸ So Haman threw himself upon the couch on which Esther was reclining. At that very moment the king was just returning from the palace garden to the banquet hall. The king exclaimed: “Will he also violate the queen while she is with me in my own house?”

The words were scarcely out of the king’s mouth when Haman’s face was covered.
