Esther 3:8
¶And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered *abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and htheir laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not 1for the king's profit to suffer them.

NKJV: Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not to the king's profit to tolerate them.
