Esther 5:9-14

9Then wentH3318 HamanH2001 forthH3318 that dayH3117 joyfulH8056 and with a gladH2896 heartH3820: but when HamanH2001 sawH7200 MordecaiH4782 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, that he stood not upH6965, nor movedH2111 for him, heH2001 was fullH4390 of indignationH2534 against MordecaiH4782. 10Nevertheless HamanH2001 refrainedH662 himself: and when he cameH935 homeH1004, he sentH7971 and calledH935 for his friendsH157, and ZereshH2238 his wifeH802.1 11And HamanH2001 toldH5608 them of the gloryH3519 of his richesH6239, and the multitudeH7230 of his childrenH1121, and all the things wherein the kingH4428 had promotedH1431 him, and how he had advancedH5375 him above the princesH8269 and servantsH5650 of the kingH4428. 12HamanH2001 saidH559 moreover, Yea, EstherH635 the queenH4436 did let no man come inH935 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960 that she had preparedH6213 but myself; and to morrowH4279 am I invitedH7121 unto her also with the kingH4428. 13Yet all this availethH7737 me nothing, so long asH6256 I seeH7200 MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 sittingH3427 at the king’sH4428 gateH8179.

14Then saidH559 ZereshH2238 his wifeH802 and all his friendsH157 unto him, Let a gallowsH6086 be madeH6213 of fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, and to morrowH1242 speakH559 thou unto the kingH4428 that MordecaiH4782 may be hangedH8518 thereon: then goH935 thou in merrilyH8056 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960. And the thingH1697 pleasedH6440H3190 HamanH2001; and he causedH6213 the gallowsH6086 to be madeH6213.2
