Esther 10:4-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Mordecai’s Dream Fulfilled

⁴ And Mor′decai said, “These things have come from God. ⁵ For I remember the dream that I had concerning these matters, and none of them has failed to be fulfilled. ⁶ The tiny spring which became a river, and there was light and the sun and abundant water—the river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen. ⁷ The two dragons are Haman and myself. ⁸ The nations are those that gathered to destroy the name of the Jews. ⁹ And my nation, this is Israel, who cried out to God and were saved. The Lord has saved his people; the Lord has delivered us from all these evils; God has done great signs and wonders, which have not occurred among the nations.
