24For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had schemed against the Jews to destroy them and 1had cast Pur, that is the lot, to disturb them and destroy them.

25But 2when it came 3to the king’s attention, he commanded by letter 4that his wicked scheme which he had 5devised against the Jews, 6should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the 7gallows.
