Esther 7:8 in Context — Esther 7

6 Esther répondit: L’oppresseur, l’ennemi, c’est Haman, ce méchant-là! Haman fut saisi de terreur en présence du roi et de la reine.

7 Et le roi, dans sa colère, se leva et quitta le festin, pour aller dans le jardin du palais. Haman resta pour demander grâce de la vie à la reine Esther, car il voyait bien que sa perte était arrêtée dans l’esprit du roi.

8 Lorsque le roi revint du jardin du palais dans la salle du festin, il vit Haman qui s’était précipité vers le lit sur lequel était Esther, et il dit: Serait-ce encore pour faire violence à la reine, chez moi, dans le palais? Dès que cette parole fut sortie de la bouche du roi, on voila le visage d’Haman.

9 Et Harbona, l’un des eunuques, dit en présence du roi: Voici, le bois préparé par Haman pour Mardochée, qui a parlé pour le bien du roi, est dressé dans la maison d’Haman, à une hauteur de cinquante coudées. Le roi dit: Qu’on y pende Haman!

10 Et l’on pendit Haman au bois qu’il avait préparé pour Mardochée. Et la colère du roi s’apaisa.
