Then Mordecai<S>4782</S> told<S>559</S> [them] to reply<S>7725</S> to Esther,<S>635</S> "Do not imagine<S>1819</S> that you in the king's palace<S>1004</S> can escape<S>4422</S> any more<S>4480</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> the Jews.<S>3064</S>

"For if<S>518</S> you remain<S>2790</S> silent<S>2790</S> at this<S>384</S> time,<S>6256</S> relief<S>7305</S> and deliverance<S>2020</S> will arise<S>5975</S> for the Jews<S>3064</S> from another<S>312</S> place<S>4725</S> and you and your father's house<S>1004</S> will perish.

"Go,<S>1980</S> assemble<S>3664</S> all<S>3605</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> who are found<S>4672</S> in Susa,<S>7800</S> and fast<S>6684</S> for me; do not eat<S>398</S> or drink<S>8354</S> for three<S>7969</S> days,<S>3117</S> night<S>3915</S> or day.<S>3117</S> I and my maidens<S>5291</S> also<S>1571</S> will fast<S>6684</S> in the same<S>3651</S> way.<S>3651</S> And thus<S>3651</S> I will go<S>935</S> in to the king,<S>4428</S> which<S>834</S> is not according to the law;<S>1881</S> and if<S>834</S> I perish, I perish."

<pb/>So Mordecai<S>4782</S> went<S>5674</S> away<S>5674</S> and did<S>6213</S> just<S>3605</S> <S>834</S> as Esther<S>635</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> him.

<pb/>Now it came<S>1961</S> about on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S> that Esther<S>635</S> put<S>3847</S> on her royal<S>4438</S> robes<S>4438</S> and stood<S>5975</S> in the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s palace<S>1004</S> in front<S>5227</S> of the king's rooms,<S>1004</S> and the king was sitting<S>3427</S> on his royal<S>4438</S> throne<S>3678</S> in the throne<S>4438</S> room,<S>1004</S> opposite<S>5227</S> the entrance<S>6607</S> to the palace.<S>1004</S>

And it happened<S>1961</S> when the king<S>4428</S> saw<S>7200</S> Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> standing<S>5975</S> in the court,<S>2691</S> she obtained<S>5375</S> favor<S>2580</S> in his sight;<S>5869</S> and the king<S>4428</S> extended<S>3447</S> to Esther<S>635</S> the golden<S>2091</S> scepter<S>8275</S> which<S>834</S> was in his hand.<S>3027</S> So Esther<S>635</S> came<S>7126</S> near<S>7126</S> and touched<S>5060</S> the top<S>7218</S> of the scepter.<S>8275</S>


text:
<pb/>Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her, "What<S>4100</S> is [troubling] you, Queen<S>4436</S> Esther<S>635</S>? And what<S>4100</S> is your request<S>1246</S>? Even<S>5704</S> to half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> it will be given<S>5414</S> to you."


text:
<pb/>And Esther<S>635</S> said,<S>559</S> "If<S>518</S> it please<S>2895</S> the king,<S>4428</S> may the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> come<S>935</S> this day<S>3117</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> that I have prepared<S>6213</S> for him."


text:
<pb/>Then the king<S>4428</S> said,<S>559</S> "Bring<S>4116</S> Haman<S>2001</S> quickly<S>4116</S> that we may do<S>6213</S> as Esther<S>635</S> desires.<S>1697</S>" So the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> came<S>935</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> which<S>834</S> Esther<S>635</S> had prepared.<S>6213</S>


text:
And, as they drank<S>4960</S> their wine<S>3196</S> at the banquet,<S>4960</S> the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Esther,<S>635</S> "What<S>4100</S> is your petition,<S>7596</S> for it shall be granted<S>5414</S> to you. And what<S>4100</S> is your request<S>1246</S>? Even<S>5704</S> to half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> it shall be done.<S>6213</S>"


text:
<pb/>So Esther<S>635</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "My petition<S>7596</S> and my request<S>1246</S> is: 


text:
if<S>518</S> I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the king,<S>4428</S> and if<S>518</S> it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S> to grant<S>5414</S> my petition<S>7596</S> and do<S>6213</S> what<S>1246</S> I request,<S>1246</S> may the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> come<S>935</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> which<S>834</S> I shall prepare<S>6213</S> for them, and tomorrow<S>4279</S> I will do<S>6213</S> as the king<S>4428</S> says.<S>1697</S> "


text:
Then Haman<S>2001</S> went<S>3318</S> out that day<S>3117</S> glad<S>8056</S> and pleased<S>2896</S> of heart;<S>3820</S> but when Haman<S>2001</S> saw<S>7200</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> in the king's gate,<S>8179</S> and that he did not stand<S>6965</S> up or tremble<S>2111</S> before<S>4480</S> him, Haman<S>2001</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with anger<S>2534</S> against<S>5921</S> Mordecai.<S>4782</S>


text:
Haman<S>2001</S> controlled<S>662</S> himself, however, went<S>935</S> to his house,<S>1004</S> and sent<S>7971</S> for his friends<S>157</S> and his wife<S>802</S> Zeresh.<S>2238</S>


text:
Then Haman<S>2001</S> recounted<S>5608</S> to them the glory<S>9202</S> of his riches,<S>6239</S> and the number<S>7230</S> of his sons,<S>1121</S> and every<S>3605</S> [instance] where<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> had magnified<S>1431</S> him, and how<S>834</S> he had promoted<S>5375</S> him above<S>5921</S> the princes<S>8269</S> and servants<S>5650</S> of the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
Haman<S>2001</S> also<S>637</S> said,<S>559</S> "Even<S>637</S> Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> let no<S>3808</S> one but me come<S>935</S> with the king<S>4428</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> which<S>834</S> she had prepared;<S>6213</S> and tomorrow<S>4279</S> also<S>1571</S> I am invited<S>7121</S> by her with the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
"Yet all<S>3605</S> of this<S>2088</S> does not satisfy<S>9586</S> me every<S>3605</S> time<S>6256</S> I see<S>7200</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S> sitting<S>3427</S> at the king's gate.<S>8179</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> and all<S>3605</S> his friends<S>157</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Have a gallows<S>6086</S> fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>1364</S> made<S>6213</S> and in the morning<S>1242</S> ask<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to have Mordecai<S>4782</S> hanged<S>8518</S> on it, then go<S>935</S> joyfully<S>8056</S> with the king<S>4428</S> to the banquet.<S>4960</S>" And the advice<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> Haman,<S>2001</S> so he had the gallows<S>6086</S> made.<S>6213</S>


text:
<pb/>During that night<S>3915</S> the king<S>4428</S> could<S>5074</S> not sleep<S>8142</S> so he gave<S>559</S> an order<S>559</S> to bring<S>935</S> the book<S>5612</S> of records,<S>2146</S> the chronicles,<S>1697</S> <S>3117</S> and they were read<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
And it was found<S>4672</S> written<S>3789</S> what<S>834</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> had reported<S>5046</S> concerning<S>5921</S> Bigthana<S>904</S> and Teresh,<S>8657</S> two<S>8147</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s eunuchs<S>5631</S> who were doorkeepers,<S>8104</S> <S>5592</S> that they had sought<S>1245</S> to lay<S>7971</S> hands<S>3027</S> on King Ahasuerus.<S>325</S>


text:
<pb/>And the king<S>4428</S> said,<S>559</S> "What<S>4100</S> honor<S>3366</S> or dignity<S>1420</S> has been bestowed<S>6213</S> on Mordecai<S>4782</S> for this<S>2088</S>?" Then the king's servants<S>5288</S> who attended<S>8334</S> him said,<S>559</S> "Nothing<S>3808</S> <S>1697</S> has been done<S>6213</S> for him."


text:
<pb/>So the king<S>4428</S> said,<S>559</S> "Who<S>4310</S> is in the court<S>2691</S>?" Now Haman<S>2001</S> had just entered<S>935</S> the outer<S>2435</S> court<S>2691</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s palace<S>1004</S> in order to speak<S>559</S> to the king about hanging<S>8518</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> on the gallows<S>6086</S> which<S>834</S> he had prepared<S>3559</S> for him.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "Behold,<S>2009</S> Haman<S>2001</S> is standing<S>5975</S> in the court.<S>2691</S>" And the king said,<S>559</S> "Let him come<S>935</S> in."


text:
<pb/>So Haman<S>2001</S> came<S>935</S> in and the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "What<S>4100</S> is to be done<S>6213</S> for the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> desires<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>?" And Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> to himself,<S>3820</S> "Whom<S>4310</S> would the king<S>4428</S> desire<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S> more<S>3148</S> than<S>4480</S> me?"


text:
Then Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> to the king,<S>4428</S> "For the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> desires<S>2654</S> to honor,<S>3366</S>


text:
let them bring<S>935</S> a royal<S>4438</S> robe<S>3830</S> which<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> has worn,<S>3847</S> and the horse<S>5483</S> on which<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> has ridden,<S>7392</S> and on whose<S>834</S> head<S>7218</S> a royal<S>4438</S> crown<S>3804</S> has been placed;<S>5414</S>


text:
and let the robe<S>3830</S> and the horse<S>5483</S> be handed<S>3027</S> over<S>5414</S> to one<S>376</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s most noble<S>6579</S> princes<S>8269</S> and let them array<S>3847</S> the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> desires<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S> and lead<S>7392</S> him on horseback<S>5483</S> through the city<S>5892</S> square,<S>7339</S> and proclaim<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> him, 'Thus<S>3602</S> it shall be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> the king desires<S>2654</S> to honor.<S>3366</S>' "


text:
<pb/>Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Haman,<S>2001</S> "Take<S>3947</S> quickly<S>4116</S> the robes<S>3830</S> and the horse<S>5483</S> as you have said,<S>1696</S> and do<S>6213</S> so<S>3651</S> for Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew,<S>3064</S> who is sitting<S>3427</S> at the king's gate;<S>8179</S> do not fall<S>5307</S> short in anything<S>1697</S> of all<S>3605</S> that you have said.<S>1696</S>"


text:
<pb/>So Haman<S>2001</S> took<S>3947</S> the robe<S>3830</S> and the horse,<S>5483</S> and arrayed<S>3847</S> Mordecai,<S>4782</S> and led<S>7392</S> him [on horseback] through the city<S>5892</S> square,<S>7339</S> and proclaimed<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> him, "Thus<S>3602</S> it shall be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> whom<S>834</S> the king<S>4428</S> desires<S>2654</S> to honor.<S>3366</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then Mordecai<S>4782</S> returned<S>7725</S> to the king's gate.<S>8179</S> But Haman<S>2001</S> hurried<S>1765</S> home,<S>1004</S> mourning,<S>57</S> with [his] head<S>7218</S> covered.<S>2645</S>


text:
And Haman<S>2001</S> recounted<S>5608</S> to Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> and all<S>3605</S> his friends<S>157</S> everything<S>3605</S> that had happened<S>7136</S> to him. Then his wise<S>2450</S> men<S>2450</S> and Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him, "If<S>518</S> Mordecai,<S>4782</S> before<S>6440</S> whom<S>834</S> you have begun<S>2490</S> to fall,<S>5307</S> is of Jewish<S>3064</S> origin,<S>2233</S> you will not overcome<S>3201</S> him, but will surely<S>5307</S> fall<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> him."


text:
<pb/>While they were still<S>5750</S> talking<S>1696</S> with him, the king's eunuchs<S>5631</S> arrived<S>5060</S> and hastily<S>926</S> brought<S>935</S> Haman<S>2001</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> which<S>834</S> Esther<S>635</S> had prepared.<S>6213</S>


text:
<pb/>Now the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> came<S>935</S> to drink<S>8354</S> [wine] with Esther<S>635</S> the queen.<S>4436</S>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Esther<S>635</S> on the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S> also<S>1571</S> as they drank<S>4960</S> their wine<S>3196</S> at the banquet,<S>4960</S> "What<S>4100</S> is your petition,<S>7596</S> Queen<S>4436</S> Esther<S>635</S>? It shall be granted<S>5414</S> you. And what<S>4100</S> is your request<S>1246</S>? Even<S>5704</S> to half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> it shall be done.<S>6213</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then Queen<S>4436</S> Esther<S>635</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> "If<S>518</S> I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your sight,<S>5869</S> O king,<S>4428</S> and if<S>518</S> it please<S>2895</S> the king,<S>4428</S> let my life<S>5315</S> be given<S>5414</S> me as my petition,<S>7596</S> and my people<S>5971</S> as my request;<S>1246</S>


text:
for we have been sold,<S>4376</S> I and my people,<S>5971</S> to be destroyed,<S>8045</S> to be killed<S>2026</S> and to be annihilated. Now if<S>6</S> we had only been sold<S>432</S> as slaves,<S>4376</S> <S>8198</S> men and women,<S>5650</S> I would have remained<S>8198</S> silent,<S>2790</S> for the trouble<S>2790</S> would not be commensurate<S>9496</S> with the annoyance<S>9586</S> to the king.<S>5143</S> "


text:
<pb/>Then King<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> asked<S>559</S> Queen<S>4436</S> Esther,<S>635</S> "Who<S>4310</S> is he, and where<S>335</S> is he, who<S>834</S> would presume<S>4390</S> <S>3820</S> to do<S>6213</S> thus<S>3651</S>?"


text:
<pb/>And Esther<S>635</S> said,<S>559</S> "A foe<S>6862</S> and an enemy,<S>340</S> is this<S>2088</S> wicked<S>7451</S> Haman!<S>2001</S>" Then Haman<S>2001</S> became terrified<S>1204</S> before<S>4480</S> <S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and queen.<S>4436</S>


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S> in his anger<S>2534</S> from drinking<S>4960</S> wine<S>3196</S> [and went] into the palace<S>1055</S> garden;<S>1593</S> but Haman<S>2001</S> stayed<S>5975</S> to beg<S>1245</S> for his life<S>5315</S> from Queen<S>4436</S> Esther,<S>635</S> for he saw<S>7200</S> that harm<S>9567</S> had been determined<S>3615</S> against<S>413</S> him by the king.<S>4428</S>


text:
<pb/>Now when the king<S>4428</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the palace<S>1055</S> garden<S>1593</S> into the place<S>1004</S> where<S>4960</S> they were drinking<S>4960</S> wine,<S>3196</S> Haman<S>2001</S> was falling<S>5307</S> on the couch<S>4296</S> where<S>834</S> <S>5921</S> Esther<S>635</S> was. Then the king<S>4428</S> said,<S>559</S> "Will he even<S>1571</S> assault<S>3533</S> the queen<S>4436</S> with me in the house<S>1004</S>?"

<pb/><t>He made<S>7896</S> darkness<S>2822</S> His hiding<S>5643</S> place,<S>5643</S> His canopy<S>5521</S> around<S>5439</S> Him, Darkness<S>2825</S> of waters,<S>4325</S> thick<S>5645</S> clouds<S>5645</S> of the skies.<S>7834</S></t>

<pb/><t>The Lord<S>3068</S> also thundered<S>7481</S> in the heavens,<S>8064</S> And the Most<S>9411</S> High<S>9411</S> uttered<S>5414</S> His voice,<S>6963</S> Hailstones<S>1259</S> and coals<S>1513</S> of fire.<S>784</S></t>

<pb/><t>He makes<S>7737</S> my feet<S>7272</S> like hinds' [feet], And sets<S>5975</S> me upon my high<S>1116</S> places.<S>1116</S></t>

<pb/><t>He trains<S>3925</S> my hands<S>3027</S> for battle,<S>4421</S> So that my arms<S>2220</S> can bend<S>5181</S> a bow<S>7198</S> of bronze.<S>5154</S></t>

<pb/><t>Thou hast also given<S>5414</S> me the shield<S>4043</S> of Thy salvation,<S>3468</S> And Thy right<S>3225</S> hand<S>3225</S> upholds<S>5582</S> me; And Thy gentleness<S>6038</S> makes<S>7235</S> me great.<S>7235</S></t>

<pb/><t>Thou dost enlarge<S>7337</S> my steps<S>6806</S> under<S>8478</S> me, And my feet<S>7166</S> have not slipped.<S>4571</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>I pursued<S>7291</S> my enemies<S>340</S> and overtook<S>5381</S> them, And I did not turn<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S> until<S>5704</S> they were consumed.<S>3615</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>I shattered<S>4272</S> them, so that they were not able<S>3201</S> to rise;<S>6965</S> They fell<S>5307</S> under<S>8478</S> my feet.<S>7272</S></t>

<pb/><t>For Thou hast girded<S>247</S> me with strength<S>2428</S> for battle;<S>4421</S> Thou hast subdued<S>3766</S> under<S>8478</S> me those who rose<S>6965</S> up against me.</t>

<pb/><t>Thou hast also made<S>5414</S> my enemies<S>340</S> turn<S>5414</S> their backs<S>6203</S> to me, And I destroyed<S>6789</S> those who hated<S>8130</S> me.</t>

<pb/><t>They cried<S>7768</S> for help,<S>7768</S> but there<S>369</S> was none<S>369</S> to save,<S>3467</S> [Even] to the Lord,<S>3068</S> but He did not answer<S>6030</S> them.</t>

<pb/><t>Thou hast delivered<S>6403</S> me from the contentions<S>7379</S> of the people;<S>5971</S> Thou hast placed<S>7760</S> me as head<S>7218</S> of the nations;<S>1471</S> A people<S>5971</S> whom I have not known<S>3045</S> serve<S>5647</S> me.</t>

<pb/><t>Therefore<S>5921</S> <S>3651</S> I will give<S>3034</S> thanks<S>3034</S> to Thee among the nations,<S>1471</S> O Lord,<S>3068</S> And I will sing<S>2167</S> praises<S>2167</S> to Thy name.<S>8034</S></t>
