went into the palace garden: and
Haman stood up to make request for his life to
Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
In his
fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and
went to the palace garden, while
Haman stayed behind to
beg Queen
Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was
planning a terrible fate for him.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the
banquet of wine; and
Haman was fallen upon the bed
whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word
went out of the king’s mouth, they covered
Haman’s face.
Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the
banquet hall,
Haman was falling on the
couch where
Esther was
reclining. The king
exclaimed, “Would he actually
assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered
Haman’s face.
So the posts that
rode upon mules and camels
went out, being
hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at
Shushan the palace.
The couriers
rode out in
haste on their royal horses, pressed on by the command of the king. And the edict was also issued in the citadel of
Susa.
And
Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal
apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of

Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal garments of blue and white, with a large gold crown and a purple
robe of fine linen. And the city of
Susa shouted and
rejoiced.
For
Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame
went out throughout all the provinces: for this man
Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
For
Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Job’s sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would
invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
And the LORD said unto
Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So
Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
“Very well,” said the LORD to
Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then
Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
So
went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and
smote Job with

So
Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and
infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

affrighted.
