Esther falls down at the king’s feet and begs him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and asks that the letters he devised be reversed
에스더가 왕의 발아래 엎드려 아각 사람 하만의 악한 꾀를 제하기를 울며 구하고 그 조서를 취소하기를 청함
Esther 8:3–6: Esther speaks yet again before the king, and falls down at his feet and begs him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plan that he had planned against the Jews. Then the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arises, and stands before the king. She says, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces. For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?” The Korean Revised Version reads 왕의 발아래 (at the king’s feet) where WEB reads “at his feet” (8:3), and gives 8:5 no subject of its own, running on from Esther at 8:4.
