Esther 7:1 In-Context

1 Intravit itaque rex et Aman, ut biberent cum regina.
2 Dixitque ei rex etiam secunda die, postquam vino incaluerat: Quae petitio tua Esther ut detur tibi? et quid vis fieri? etiam si dimidiam partem regni mei petieris, impetrabis.
3 Ad quem illa respondit: Si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis o rex, et si tibi placet, dona mihi animam meam pro qua rogo, et populum meum pro quo obsecro.
4 Traditi enim sumus ego et populus meus, ut conteramur, iugulemur, et pereamus. Atque utinam in servos et famulas venderemur: esset tolerabile malum, et gemens tacerem: nunc autem hostis noster est, cuius crudelitas redundat in regem.
5 Respondensque rex Assuerus ait: Quis iste, et cuius potentiae, ut haec audeat facere?
