And now, if it [seems] good to the king, let a search be made in the treasure house of the king at Babylon, that you may know whether [it is so], that a decree was made by King Cyrus to build that house of God that was in Jerusalem, and let the king send to us when he has learned concerning this [matter].

If then it seem good to the king, let him make a royal decree, and let it be written according to the laws of the Medes and Persians, and let him not alter [it]. And let not the queen come in to him anymore, and let the king give her royalty to a woman better than she.

if I have found favor in the sight of the king, let the king and Haman come again tomorrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do the same.

And she answered and said, If I have found favor in the sight of the king, let [my] life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.

And Esther said, If it seems good to you, and [if] I have found favor [in your sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Haman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in your kingdom.

And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your maidservant, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.

And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down, and blessed the king. And Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found grace in your sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.

so shall you find favor; and provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
