On that dayH3117 did the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 giveH5414 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001 the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436. And MordecaiH4782 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428; for EstherH635 had toldH5046 what he was unto her.
And the kingH4428 took offH5493 his ringH2885, which he had takenH5674 from HamanH2001, and gaveH5414 it unto MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 setH7760 MordecaiH4782 over the houseH1004 of HamanH2001.
And EstherH635 spakeH1696 yet againH3254 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and fell downH5307 atH6440 his feetH7272, and besoughtH2603 him with tearsH1058 to put awayH5674 the mischiefH7451 of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his deviceH4284 that he had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064. {and besought…: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}
Then the kingH4428 held outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275 toward EstherH635. So EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428,
And saidH559, If it pleaseH2896 the kingH4428, and if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in his sightH6440, and the thingH1697 seem rightH3787 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and I be pleasingH2896 in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverseH7725 the lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, which he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 which are in all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082: {devised: Heb. the device} {which he…: or, who wrote}
For howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH13 of my kindredH4138? {endure…: Heb. be able that I may see}
Then the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he laidH7971 his handH3027 upon the JewsH3064.
WriteH3789 ye also for the JewsH3064, as it likethH2896 youH5869, in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885: for the writingH3791 which is writtenH3789 in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, may no man reverseH7725.
Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 SivanH5510, on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 day thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680 unto the JewsH3064, and to the lieutenantsH323, and the deputiesH6346 and rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 unto EthiopiaH3568, an hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082, unto every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and unto every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, and to the JewsH3064 according to their writingH3791, and according to their languageH3956.
And he wroteH3789 in the kingH4428 Ahasuerus'H325 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 byH3027 postsH7323 on horsebackH5483, and ridersH7392 on mulesH7409, camelsH327, and youngH1121 dromedariesH7424:
Wherein the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 which were in every cityH5892 to gather themselves togetherH6950, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all the powerH2428 of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assaultH6696 them, both little onesH2945 and womenH802, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,
Upon oneH259 dayH3117 in all the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenthH7969+H6240 day of the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143.
The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be readyH6264+H6259 against that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341. {published: Heb. revealed}
So the postsH7323 that rodeH7392 upon mulesH7409 and camelsH327 went outH3318, being hastenedH926 and pressed onH1765 by the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697. And the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002.
And MordecaiH4782 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 in royalH4438 apparelH3830 of blueH8504 and whiteH2353, and with a greatH1419 crownH5850 of goldH2091, and with a garmentH8509 of fine linenH948 and purpleH713: and the cityH5892 of ShushanH7800 rejoicedH6670 and was gladH8056. {blue: or, violet}
The JewsH3064 had lightH219, and gladnessH8057, and joyH8342, and honourH3366.
And in every provinceH4082, and in every cityH5892, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060, the JewsH3064 had joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, a feastH4960 and a goodH2896 dayH3117. And manyH7227 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 became JewsH3054; for the fearH6343 of the JewsH3064 fellH5307 upon them.

And the kingH4428 tookH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and gaveH5414 it unto HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887. {enemy: or, oppressor}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not: for I will surelyH6213 shewH6213 thee kindnessH2617 for JonathanH3083 thy father'sH1 sake, and will restoreH7725 thee all the landH7704 of SaulH7586 thy fatherH1; and thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 at my tableH7979 continuallyH8548.
And he bowedH7812 himself, and saidH559, What is thy servantH5650, that thou shouldest lookH6437 upon such a deadH4191 dogH3611 as I am?
Then the kingH4428 calledH7121 to ZibaH6717, Saul'sH7586 servantH5288, and saidH559 unto him, I have givenH5414 unto thy master'sH113 sonH1121 all that pertainedH1961 to SaulH7586 and to all his houseH1004.
Thou therefore, and thy sonsH1121, and thy servantsH5650, shall tillH5647 the landH127 for him, and thou shalt bringH935 in the fruits, that thy master'sH113 sonH1121 may have foodH3899 to eatH398: but MephiboshethH4648 thy master'sH113 sonH1121 shall eatH398 breadH3899 alwayH8548 at my tableH7979. Now ZibaH6717 had fifteenH2568+H6240 sonsH1121 and twentyH6242 servantsH5650.
And PharaohH6547 took offH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it upon Joseph'sH3130 handH3027, and arrayedH3847 him in vesturesH899 of fine linenH8336, and putH7760 a goldH2091 chainH7242 about his neckH6677; {fine…: or, silk}
WaitH6960 on the LORDH3068, and keepH8104 his wayH1870, and he shall exaltH7311 thee to inheritH3423 the landH776: when the wickedH7563 are cut offH3772, thou shalt seeH7200 it.
And I will driveH1920 thee from thy stationH4673, and from thy stateH4612 shall he pull thee downH2040.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will callH7121 my servantH5650 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518:
And I will clotheH3847 him with thy robeH3801, and strengthenH2388 him with thy girdleH73, and I will commitH5414 thy governmentH4475 into his handH3027: and he shall be a fatherH1 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
And the keyH4668 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will I layH5414 upon his shoulderH7926; so he shall openH6605, and none shall shutH5462; and he shall shutH5462, and none shall openH6605.
Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
ButG1161 the fatherG3962 saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG1401, Bring forthG1627 the bestG4413 robeG4749, andG2532 put it onG1746 himG846; andG2532 putG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 shoesG5266 onG1519 his feetG4228:
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
Therefore I went aboutH5437 to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998 under the sunH8121.
For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 therein shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. {leave: Heb. give}
For what hathH1933 manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, whereinH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121?
For all his daysH3117 are sorrowsH4341, and his travailH6045 griefH3708; yea, his heartH3820 taketh not restH7901 in the nightH3915. This is also vanityH1892.
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
For who can eatH398, or who else can hastenH2363 hereunto, moreH2351 than I?
For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {in his…: Heb. before him}
There isH3426 a soreH2470 evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, namely, richesH6239 keptH8104 for the ownersH1167 thereof to their hurtH7451.
