athe ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but bthey did not lay their hands on the plunder.aThe Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, bfor the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.Even all the princes of the provinces, athe satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king's business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai abecame greater and greater.Thus athe Jews struck all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying; and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.At the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,and Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha,

He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on ahorses, riding on steeds sired by the royal stud.In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right ato assemble and to defend their lives, bto destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and cto plunder their spoil,on aone day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar).aA copy of the edict to be issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king's command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king ain royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and ba garment of fine linen and purple; and cthe city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.For the Jews there was alight and gladness and joy and honor.In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree arrived, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a feast and a aholiday. And bmany among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen on them.aThe king took off his signet ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept and implored him to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews.aThe king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king.Then she said, "aIf it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the bletters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces."For ahow can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, aI have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands against the Jews."Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and aseal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring bmay not be revoked."aSo the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended bfrom India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to cevery province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

Then the king said to Haman, "Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said."So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, awith his head covered.Haman recounted ato Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hastily abrought Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.During that night the king acould not sleep so he gave an order to bring bthe book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.It was found written what aMordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just aentered the outer court of the king's palace in order to speak to the king about bhanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man awhom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"Then Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king desires to honor,let them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and athe horse on which the king has ridden, and on whose head ba royal crown has been placed;and let the robe and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and lead him on horseback through the city square, aand proclaim before him, 'Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.'"

Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai:"All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who acomes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, bhe has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out cto him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."They related Esther's words to Mordecai.Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews."For if you remain silent at this time, relief and adeliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?"Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,"Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; ado not eat or drink for bthree days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish."So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him.Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king's eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king's gate.Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and athe exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.He also gave him aa copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.Hathach came back and related Mordecai's words to Esther.

When Mordecai learned aall that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly.He went as far as the king's gate, for no one was to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth.In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with afasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.

Then athe king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha bthe Agagite, cthe enemy of the Jews.The king said to Haman, "The silver is yours, and the people also, to do with them as you please."aThen the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to bthe king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written cin the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.Letters were sent by acouriers to all the king's provinces bto destroy, to kill and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, cin one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to dseize their possessions as plunder.aA copy of the edict to be issued as law in every province was published to all the peoples so that they should be ready for this day.The couriers went out impelled by the king's command while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, athe city of Susa was in confusion.All the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But aMordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.Then the king's servants who were at athe king's gate said to Mordecai, "bWhy are you transgressing the king's command?"Now it was when they had spoken daily to him and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.When Haman saw that aMordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage.But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman asought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is the lot, was acast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, until the twelfth month, that is bthe month Adar.Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; atheir laws are different from those of all other people and they do not observe the king's laws, so it is not in the king's interest to let them remain."If it is pleasing to the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry on the king's business, to put into the king's treasuries."

aEsther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known.Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and how she fared.Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--the young lady would go in to the king in this way: anything that she desired was given her to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.In the evening she would go in and in the morning she would return to the second harem, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not again go in to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.Now when the turn of Esther, athe daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what bHegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that ahe set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.After these things awhen the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and bwhat had been decreed against her.Then the king's attendants, who served him, said, "aLet beautiful young virgins be sought for the king."Let the king appoint overseers in aall the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of bHegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and clet their cosmetics be given them."Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti." And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was aMordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,awho had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled.He was bringing up Hadassah, that is aEsther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and amany young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of bHegai, that Esther was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her acosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? aMay it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.For we know that the Law is aspiritual, but I am aof flesh, bsold cinto bondage to sin.For what I am doing, aI do not understand; for I am not practicing bwhat I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with athe Law, confessing that the Law is good.So now, ano longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my aflesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.For athe good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, aI am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.I find then athe principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.For I joyfully concur with the law of God in athe inner man,but I see aa different law in the members of my body, waging war against the blaw of my mind and making me a prisoner of cthe law of sin which is in my members.Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from athe body of this bdeath?aThanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh bthe law of sin.
