Esther 3:8

Haman said to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), ”There is a special people [the Jews] scattered and dispersed among the peoples of all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of all other peoples, nor do they keep the king’s laws. Therefore it does not benefit the king to preserve (tolerate) them.
