evening offering, I got up from my
humiliation with my
tunic and
cloak torn, and I fell on my knees, spread out my hands to the LORD my God,

remnant to escape, and to give us a
nail in his holy place, that our God may
lighten our eyes, and give us a little
reviving in our
bondage.

uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

even if your exiles have been banished to the
farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.’

buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.
Restore, I pray you, to them,
even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the

assessing them.”
Also I
shook my
lap, and said, So God
shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise,
even thus be he
shaken out, and
emptied. And all the congregation said,
Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
I also
shook out the folds of my
robe and said, “May God likewise
shake out of His house and possession every man who does not keep this promise. May such a man be
shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said, “
Amen,” and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the
twentieth year
even unto the two and
thirtieth year of
Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Furthermore, from the day King
Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his
twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers
ate the food
allotted to the governor.
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver;
yea,
even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
The governors before me had
heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine
plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also
oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God.

Yea, when they had made them a
molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
Even when they cast for themselves an image of a
calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and when they committed terrible blasphemies,
For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
For
even while they were in their kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the
spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.

rejoiced: for God had made them
rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children
rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard
even afar off.

And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

chased him from me.

Now it came to pass in the days of
Ahasuerus, (this is

Xerxes, who reigned over 127 provinces from India to
Cush.

even an hundred and
fourscore days.

In the
evening she went, and on the
morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the
custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s
chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
She would go there in the

holiday in the provinces and gave gifts worthy of the king’s
bounty.
After these things did king
Ahasuerus promote
Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
After these
events, King
Xerxes honored
Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite,
elevating him to a position above all the princes who were with him.
And he thought
scorn to lay hands on
Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of
Mordecai: wherefore
Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of
Ahasuerus,
even the people of
Mordecai.
And when he learned the identity of
Mordecai’s people, he
scorned the notion of laying hands on
Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of
Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the kingdom of
Xerxes.
And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day,
even upon the
thirteenth day of the
twelfth month, which is the month
Adar, and to take the
spoil of them for a prey.

Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
“Go and
assemble all the Jews who can be found in
Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king,
even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”
Then said the king unto her, What
wilt thou, queen
Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be
even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
“What is it, Queen
Esther?” the king inquired. “What is your request?
Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you.”
And the king said unto
Esther at the
banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request?
even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
And as they
drank their wine, the king said to
Esther, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request?
Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
Then the king said to
Haman, Make
haste, and take the
apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do
even so to
Mordecai the
Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
“
Hurry,” said the king to
Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the
robe and the horse to
Mordecai the
Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
And the king said again unto
Esther on the second day at the
banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen
Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed,
even to the half of the kingdom.
and as they
drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen
Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request?
Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
And
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king
Ahasuerus, both
nigh and far,
Mordecai recorded these
events and sent letters to all the Jews in all the provinces of King
Xerxes, both near and far,
And the king
Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
Now King
Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land,
even to its
farthest shores.
And the LORD said unto
Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his
integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Then the LORD said to
Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is
blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his
integrity,
even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
Even as I have seen, they that
plow iniquity, and
sow wickedness,
reap the same.
As I have observed, those who
plow iniquity and those who
sow trouble
reap the same.
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
Doth not their
excellency which is in them go away? they die,
even without wisdom.
Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
Whose harvest the
hungry eateth up, and taketh it
even out of the thorns, and the
robber swalloweth up their substance.
Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
that God would be willing to
crush me, to
unleash His hand and cut me off!
To him that is
