Esther 5:9-13

9So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.

10Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

11Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.

12Moreover Haman said, “Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king.

13Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
