Verse 8
Esther 3:8
World English Bible
8
Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.

English Translation
And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and separated among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from every nation, and they do not observe the king's laws; therefore, it is not fitting for the king to tolerate them."
