Esther 5:1-8 (YLT) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the king over-against the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against the opening of the house,

2

and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that is in his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the sceptre.

3

And the king saith to her, `What--to thee Esther, O queen? and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom--and it is given to thee.'

4

And Esther saith, `If unto the king it be good, the king doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have made for him;'

5

and the king saith, `Haste ye Haman--to do the word of Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet that Esther hath made.

6

And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine, `What is thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom--and it is done.'

7

And Esther answereth and saith, `My petition and my request is :

8

if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto the king it be good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the king.'
