Ester 7:6 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 7:6

And Esther said, the adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman,
&c.] Who was not only an enemy to her and her people, but an adversary to the king, by advising and persuading him to that which was to the loss of his revenues, as well as of his reputation; also, she pointed at him, and gave him his just character; her charge of wickedness upon him, as it was true, it was honourably made to his face before the king, of which, if he could, he had the opportunity of exculpating himself:

then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen;
gave visible signs of his confusion, consternation, and trouble of mind, by the fall of his countenance, his pale looks, his trembling limbs, and quivering lips, being struck dumb, and not able to speak one word for himself.

Ester 7:6 In-Context

4 Porque a m铆 y a mi pueblo se nos ha vendido para exterminio, muerte y aniquilaci贸n. Si solo se nos hubiera vendido como esclavos, yo me habr铆a quedado callada, pues tal angustia no ser铆a motivo suficiente para inquietar a Su Majestad.
5 El rey le pregunt贸:鈥斅縔 qui茅n es ese que se ha atrevido a concebir semejante barbaridad? 驴D贸nde est谩?
6 鈥斅l adversario y enemigo es este miserable de Am谩n! 鈥攔espondi贸 Ester.Am谩n qued贸 aterrorizado ante el rey y la reina.
7 El rey se levant贸 enfurecido, dej贸 de beber y sali贸 al jard铆n del palacio. Pero Am谩n, d谩ndose cuenta de que el rey ya hab铆a decidido su fin, se qued贸 para implorarle a la reina Ester que le perdonara la vida.
8 Cuando el rey volvi贸 del jard铆n del palacio a la sala del banquete, Am谩n estaba inclinado sobre el div谩n donde Ester estaba recostada. Al ver esto, el rey exclam贸:鈥斅 todav铆a se atreve este a violar a la reina en mi presencia y en mi casa!Tan pronto como el rey pronunci贸 estas palabras, cubrieron el rostro de Am谩n.
