כִּ֤י נִמְכַּ֙רְנוּ֙ אֲנִ֣י וְעַמִּ֔י לְהַשְׁמִ֖יד לַהֲר֣וֹג וּלְאַבֵּ֑ד וְ֠אִלּוּ לַעֲבָדִ֨ים וְלִשְׁפָח֤וֹת נִמְכַּ֙רְנוּ֙ הֶחֱרַ֔שְׁתִּי כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין הַצָּ֛ר שֹׁוֶ֖ה בְּנֵ֥זֶק הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (ס)
Sapagkat ipinagbili kami, ako at ang aking bayan, upang lipulin, patayin, at puksain. Kung ipinagbili lamang kami bilang mga aliping lalaki at mga aliping babae, nanahimik na sana ako; sapagkat walang malasakit ang kaaway sa kapinsalaan ng hari.”
Megillah
For we have been sold, I and my people etc . . . For the adversary is not worth the damage to the king” (Esther 7:4). She said to him: This adversary cares not for the damage of the king. He was angry with Vashti and killed her, and he is angry with me and wants to kill me.
