For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

The verse 6 is found in chapter 8 of Esther. Esther again pleads with the king and weeps over the decree that remains in force. Haman's death has not solved the legal problem: the imperial edict still carries authority. This distinction is fundamental because it requires an institutional solution to a threat that has already been formalized by law.

Denn wie kann ich zusehen dem Übel, das mein Volk treffen würde? Und wie kann ich zusehen, daß mein Geschlecht umkomme?
Porque ¿cómo podré yo ver el mal que alcanzará a mi pueblo? ¿cómo podré yo ver la destrucción de mi nación?
Porque ¿cómo podré soportar ver la desgracia que alcanzará a mi pueblo? ¿Y cómo podré soportar ver la destrucción de mi familia?».
Car comment pourrais-je voir le malheur qui atteindrait mon peuple, et comment pourrais-je voir la destruction de ma race?
Perciocchè, come potrei io vivere, veggendo il male che avverrebbe al mio popolo? anzi, come potrei io vivere, veggendo la distruzione del mio parentado?
Pois como poderei ver o mal que sobrevirá ao meu povo? E como poderei ver a destruição da minha parentela?
我何忍見我本族的人受害?何忍見我同宗的人被滅呢?」
