Common English Bible

⁵ Esther said, “If the idea seems right to the king, and if I still please him, revoke the written decrees sent out by Haman, ordering the destruction of the Jews living within your kingdom. ⁶ How can I bear to watch the terrible evil about to sweep over my people? And how can I be delivered from the destruction of my people?”
