Or Esther continua de parler en la présence du roi, et se jetant à ses pieds, elle pleura, et le supplia de faire que la malice d'Haman, l'Agagien, et ce qu'il avait machiné contre les Juifs, n'eût point d'effet.
Et Esther parla encore devant le roi, et tomba à ses pieds et pleura, et le supplia de mettre à néant le mal médité par Haman, l'Agaguite, et le dessein qu'il avait formé contre les Juifs.
Puis Esther parla de nouveau en présence du roi. Elle se jeta à ses pieds, elle pleura, elle le supplia d'empêcher les effets de la méchanceté d'Haman, l'Agaguite, et la réussite de ses projets contre les Juifs.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Esther spake yet again before the king,.... Went into his presence, without being called for as before, with a new petition:
and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears; the more to work upon his affections, and move him to grant her request; which she might be the more encouraged to hope for, through the success she already had:
to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews; to revoke, abolish, and make void a mischievous scheme Haman had devised against the Jews, to root out the whole nation of them in the Persian empire.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Though Haman was dead, his work was not yet undone. The royal decree had gone forth, and, according to Persian notions, could not be directly recalled or reversed Esther 8:8. Mordecai did not dare, without express permission from the king, to take any steps even to stay execution. And Esther, being in favor, once more took the initiative.
