Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things
that were done, and
that all should
rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.
Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and
slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they
that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they
that were in Galaad, and in
Galilee,
chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.
And the residue
that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and

After
that I became lord over many nations and had dominion over the whole world, not lifted up with
presumption of my authority, but carrying myself always with
equity and mildness, I purposed to settle my subjects continually in a quiet life, and making my kingdom peaceable, and open for passage to the utmost coasts, to renew peace, which is desired of all men.
Now when I asked my counsellors how this might be brought to pass, Aman,
that excelled in wisdom among us, and was approved for his constant good will and
steadfast fidelity, and had the honour of the second place in the kingdom,
Declared unto us,
that in all nations throughout the world there was scattered a certain
malicious people,
that had laws contrary to all nations, and continually
despised the commandments of kings, so as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably intended by us cannot go forward.
Seeing then we understand that this people alone is continually in opposition unto all men, differing in the strange manner of their laws, and evil affected to our state, working all the mischief they can that our kingdom may not be firmly established:
Therefore have we commanded,
that all they
that are
signified in writing unto you by Aman, who is ordained over the affairs, and is next unto us, shall all, with their wives and children, be utterly destroyed by the sword of their enemies, without all mercy and
pity, the
fourteenth day of the
twelfth month
Adar of this present year:

malicious, may in one day with violence go into the grave, and so ever
hereafter cause our affairs to be well settled, and without trouble.
Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King
Almighty: for the whole world is in thy power, and if thou hast appointed to save Israel, there is no man
that can
gainsay thee:
Thou art Lord of all things, and and there is no man that can resist thee, which art the Lord.
Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman.
But I did this,
that I might not
prefer the glory of man above the glory of God: neither will I worship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride.
And now, O Lord God and King,
spare thy people: for their eyes are upon us to bring us to
nought;
yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance,
that hath been thine from the beginning.
Hear my prayer, and be
merciful unto thine inheritance: turn our sorrow into joy,
that we may live, O Lord, and praise thy name: and destroy not the mouths of them
that praise thee, O Lord.
From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family
that thou, O Lord, tookest Israel from among all people, and our fathers from all their predecessors, for a perpetual inheritance, and thou hast performed
whatsoever thou
didst promise them.
Nevertheless it satisfieth them not,
that we are in bitter captivity: but they have
stricken hands with their idols,
That they will
abolish the thing
that thou with thy mouth hast ordained, and destroy thine inheritance, and stop the mouth of them
that praise thee, and
quench the glory of thy house, and of thine altar,
O Lord, give not thy
sceptre unto them
that be nothing, and let them not
laugh at our fall; but turn their
device upon themselves, and make him an example,

eloquent speech in my mouth before the lion: turn his heart to
hate him
that fighteth against us,

that am
desolate, and which have no other help but thee.
Thou knowest all things, O Lord; thou knowest
that I
hate the glory of the unrighteous, and
abhor the bed of the
uncircumcised, and of all the heathen.
Thou knowest my necessity: for I
abhor the sign of my high estate, which is upon mine head in the days wherein I
shew myself, and
that I
abhor it as a
menstruous rag, and
that I wear it not when I am private by myself.
And
that thine
handmaid hath not eaten at Aman’s table, and

handmaid any joy since the day
that I was brought
hither to this present, but in thee, O Lord God of Abraham.

that shone with majesty, he looked very fiercely upon her: and the queen fell down, and was pale, and
fainted, and bowed herself upon the head of the
maid that went before her.
And endeavour to
hurt not our subjects only, but not being able to bear abundance, do take in hand to
practise also against those
that do them good:

thankfulness away from among men, but also lifted up with the glorious words of
lewd persons,
that were never good, they think to escape the justice of God,
that seeth all things and hateth evil.

manage their friends’ affairs, hath caused many

pestilent behaviour of them
that are
unworthily placed in authority.

But we find
that the Jews, whom this wicked
wretch hath delivered to utter destruction, are no evildoers, but live by most just laws:

that was the worker of these things, is
hanged at the gates of

that the Jews may freely live after their own laws.

hereafter there may be safety to us and the well affected Persians; but to those which do

malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body
that is subject unto sin.

flee deceit, and remove from thoughts
that are without understanding, and will not
abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

refrain your tongue from
backbiting: for there is no word so secret,
that shall go for
nought: and the mouth
that belieth slayeth the soul.
For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in
remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be
dispersed as a
mist,
that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.

filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his
boast that God is his father.
Nevertheless through
envy of the devil came death into the world: and they
that do hold of his side do find it.
They
that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall
abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his
elect.
Their offspring is
cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren
that is
undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the
visitation of souls.

rend them, and cast them down
headlong,
that they shall be speechless; and he shall
shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their
memorial shall perish.
When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be
amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all
that they looked for.
All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
And as a ship
that passeth over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, neither the
pathway of the
keel in the waves;
Or like as when an
arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so
that a man cannot know where it went through:
For the hope of the ungodly is like dust
that is
blown away with the wind; like a thin
froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is
dispersed here and there with a
tempest, and passeth away as the
remembrance of a
guest that tarrieth but a day.
Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.
Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

that be in high places.
Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
For they
that keep
holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they
that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
