Esther 7:4
ESV, NIV, KJV · TruthBound Bible
ESV
For we have been sold , I and my people , to be destroyed , to be killed , and to be annihilated . If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women , I would have been silent , for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king .
NIV
For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.”
KJV
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
