So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,
let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, {Or, and the crown royal which is set upon his head}and on the head of which a crown royal is set:
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart,In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of Jehovah are great,Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honor and majesty;And his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:Jehovah is gracious and merciful.
He hath given {Hebrew: prey.}food unto them that fear him:He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath showed his people the power of his works,In giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of his hands are truth and justice;All his precepts are sure.
They are established for ever and ever;They are {Or, made}done in truth and uprightness.
He hath sent redemption unto his people;He hath commanded his covenant for ever:Holy and reverend is his name.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; {Or, Good repute}A good understanding have all they that do {Hebrew: them.}his commandments:His praise endureth for ever.
