Esther 5:7 CPDV

⁵  And immediately the king said, 'Call Haman quickly, so that he may obey Esther's will. And so the king and Haman came to the feast, which the queen had prepared for them.

⁶  And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine abundantly, 'What are you asking for that should be given to you? And which things do you require? Even if you request half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.'

⁷  Esther answered him, 'My petition and prayer is this:

⁸  If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfill my petition, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I have prepared for them, and tomorrow I will open my mind to the king.'

⁹  And so Haman went out that day joyful and cheerful. And when he saw that Mordecai was sitting in front of the gate of the palace, and that he alone did not get up for him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was very indignant.
