Esther 8:16-17

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ to the Jews hath been light, and gladness, and joy, and honour,

¹⁷ and in every province and province, and in every city and city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, gladness and joy [are] to the Jews, a banquet, and a good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming Jews, for a fear of the Jews hath fallen upon them.
