Esther 3:4-6

4Now it was when they had spokenH559 dailyH3117 to him and he would not listenH8085 to them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001 to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 reasonH1697 would standH5975; for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064. 5When HamanH2001 sawH7200 that 1MordecaiH4782 neitherH369 bowedH3766 downH3766 norH369 paidH7812 homageH7812 to him, HamanH2001 was filledH4390 with rageH2534. 6But he 2disdainedH959H5869 to 3layH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 aloneH905, for they had toldH5046 him who the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782 were; therefore HamanH2001 4soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 the JewsH3064, the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782, whoH834 were throughout the wholeH3605 kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325.
