Job 8:3

Nova Vulgata

Et adiecit Esther loqui coram rege et procidit ad pedes eius flevitque et locuta ad eum oravit, ut malitiam Aman Agagitae et machinationes eius pessimas, quas excogitaverat contra Iudaeos, iuberet irritas fieri.

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.
