Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do
with them as it seemeth good to thee.

Then were the king’s
scribes called on the
thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that
Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king
Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed
with the king’s ring.

Mordecai learned of all that had happened, he
tore his clothes, put on
sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the middle of the city,
wailing loudly and bitterly.

with sackcloth.

anyone wearing

whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden
sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
“All the royal officials and the people of the king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court
without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the king extends the gold
scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the past thirty days.”
Then
Mordecai commanded to answer
Esther, Think not
with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
he sent back to her this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the king’s palace you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.

Esther the queen did let no man come in
with the king unto the
banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to

with the king.

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.

gallows constructed.
Let the royal
apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
have them bring a royal
robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has
ridden—one
with a royal crest placed on its head.
And let this
apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may
array the man
withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on
horseback through the street of the city, and
proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Let the
robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them
array the man the king wants to honor and
parade him on the horse through the city square,
proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”

mourning, and having his head covered.

banquet that
Esther had prepared.

Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and
besought him
with tears to put away the mischief of
Haman the Agagite, and his
device that he had devised against the Jews.
And once again,
Esther addressed the king. She fell at his feet
weeping and
begged him to
revoke the evil scheme of
Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews.
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
Now you may write in the king’s name as you please regarding the Jews, and seal it
with the royal
signet ring. For a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed
with the royal
signet ring cannot be
revoked.”
And he wrote in the king
Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it
with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on
horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young

Xerxes and sealed it
with the royal
signet ring. He sent the documents by mounted couriers riding on swift horses
bred from the royal mares.

In every province and every city, wherever the king’s edict and decree reached, there was joy and
gladness among the Jews,
with feasting and
celebrating. And many of the people of the land themselves became Jews, because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their
hurt: and no man could
withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
In each of the provinces of King
Xerxes, the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who sought to
harm them. No man could
withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.
Thus the Jews
smote all their enemies
with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that
hated them.
The Jews put all their enemies to the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did as they pleased to those who

invite their three sisters to eat and drink
with them.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them.
One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan also came
with them.
And the
Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away;
yea, they have slain the servants
with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
the
Sabeans swooped down 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, 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!”
In all this, Job did not sin or charge God
with wrongdoing.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

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.”
So went
Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and
smote Job
with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

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.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to
mourn with him and to comfort him.
Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite,
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this
adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and
sympathize with Job and comfort him.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
