American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;But when they perish, the righteous increase.
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
