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 their laws are
diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Then
Haman informed King
Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and
dispersed among the peoples of every province of your kingdom. Their laws are different from
everyone else’s, and they do not obey the king’s laws. So it is not in the king’s best interest to
tolerate them.
And the king
said unto
Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
“Keep your money,”
said the king to
Haman. “These people are given to you to do with them as you please.”
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 answered
Esther, and
said, My petition and my request is;
Esther replied, “This is my petition and my request:
If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and
Haman come to the
banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to
morrow as the king hath
said.
If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and
fulfill my request, may the king and
Haman come
tomorrow to the
banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”
Haman said moreover,
Yea,
Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the
banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to
morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
“What is more,”
Haman added, “Queen
Esther invited no one but me to join the king at the
banquet she prepared, and I am invited back
tomorrow along with the king.
His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a
gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the king in the morning to have
Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the
banquet with the king and enjoy
yourself.” The advice pleased
Haman, and he had the
gallows constructed.
And the king
said, What honour and dignity hath been done to
Mordecai for this? Then
said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on
Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
And the king
said, Who is in the court? Now
Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to
hang Mordecai on the
gallows that he had prepared for him.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now
Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to
hang Mordecai on the
gallows he had prepared for him.
And the king’s servants
said unto him, Behold,
Haman standeth in the court. And the king
said, Let him come in.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “
Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
So
Haman came in. And the king
said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now
Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now
Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
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
Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had
befallen him. Then
said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If
Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh
said to him, “Since
Mordecai, before whom your
downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
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.”
Then
Esther the queen answered and
said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
Queen
Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
Then King
Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen
Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would
devise such a scheme?”
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.
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains,
said before the king, Behold also, the
gallows fifty cubits high, which
Haman had made for
Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of
Haman. Then the king
said,
Hang him
thereon.
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king,
said: “There is a
gallows fifty cubits high at
Haman’s house. He had it built for
Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “
Hang him on it!” declared the king.
And
said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by
Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
“If it pleases the king,” she
said, “and if I have found favor in his sight, and the matter seems proper to the king, and I am pleasing in his sight, may an order be written to
revoke the letters that the scheming
Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.
And the king
said unto
Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in
Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of
Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
who
said to Queen
Esther, “In the citadel of
Susa the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men, including
Haman’s ten sons. What have they done in the rest of the royal provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given to you. And what further do you request? It will be fulfilled.”
Then
said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in
Shushan to do to
morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let
Haman’s ten sons be
hanged upon the
gallows.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and
sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job
said, It may be that my sons have
sinned, and
cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
And when the days of feasting were over, Job would send for his children to
purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have
sinned and
cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.
And the LORD
said unto
Satan, Whence comest thou? Then
Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and
fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
“Where have you come from?”
said the LORD to
Satan. “From
roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
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?
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.”
Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
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.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was still speaking, another
messenger came and reported: “The fire of God fell from heaven. It burned and consumed the sheep and the servants, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and
said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away,
yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was still speaking, another
messenger came and reported: “The Chaldeans formed three bands,
raided the camels, and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
While he was still speaking, another
messenger came and reported: “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
And
said, Naked came I out of my mother’s
womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
saying: “Naked I came from my mother’s
womb, and naked I will return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
And the LORD
said unto
Satan, From whence comest thou? And
Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and
fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
“Where have you come from?”
said the LORD to
Satan. “From
roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
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.”
And
Satan answered the LORD, and
said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
“Skin for skin!”
Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
And the LORD
said unto
Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
“Very well,”
said the LORD to
Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must
spare his life.”
Then Job’s wife
said to him, “Do you still retain your
integrity?
Curse God and die!”
But he
said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the
foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
“You speak as a
foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not
adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he
said.
And Job spake, and said,
And this is what he said:
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the
saints wilt thou turn?
“Call out if you please, but who will answer? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
But Job answered and said,
Then Job replied:
Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
Have I ever
said, ‘Give me something; offer me a
bribe from your wealth;
Then answered
Bildad the Shuhite, and
said,
Then
Bildad the Shuhite replied:
Then Job answered and said,
Then Job answered:
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the
blameless and the wicked.’
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’
And Job answered and said,
Then Job answered:
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
Behold, he putteth no trust in his
saints;
yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
Then Job answered and said,
Then Job answered:
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

Bildad the Shuhite, and
said,

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
It is said that God lays up one’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the man himself, so he will know it.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
Which
said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the
Almighty do for them?
They
said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the
Almighty do to us?’
Then Job answered and said,

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job continued his discourse:
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
And Job continued his discourse:
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
So I thought: ‘I will die in my nest and multiply my days as the sand.
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,
If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
if the men of my house have not said, ‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—
And
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and
said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and
durst not
shew you mine opinion.
So
Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was
timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
Therefore I
said,
Hearken to me; I also will
shew mine opinion.
Therefore I say, ‘
Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
I
said, I will answer also my part, I also will
shew mine opinion.
I too will answer;
yes, I will declare what I know.
Then he is
gracious unto him, and
saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a
ransom.
to be
gracious to him and say, ‘
Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his
ransom,’
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
Surely it is meet to be
said unto God, I have borne
chastisement, I will not
offend any more:
Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have
endured my punishment; I will
offend no more.
Elihu spake moreover, and
said,
And
Elihu went on to say:
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’
