    6 And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.

    7 And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.

    8 Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.

    6 For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?
