Additions to Esther 13:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ (so) that (the) cursed men go down to hell (or into the grave) in one day, and yield peace to our empire, which they had troubled. Hitherto is the sampler of the epistle; these things, that (pur)sue, I found written after that place, where it is read, And Mordecai went, and did all things, which Esther had commanded to him; nevertheless those things be not had in Hebrew, and utterly those be not said at any of the translators. [that wicked men, one day to hell going down, yield to our empire the peace, that they have disturbed. Hitherto the sample of the epistle; those things, that follow, after that place written I found, where is read, And going Mordecai did all things, that Esther had commanded to him; and neverthelater they be not had in Hebrew, and with no man of the interpreters they be utterly told.]

(In the Greek Esther, verses 8-19 below follow verse 17 of Chapter 4; in the Hebrew Esther, these 11 verses would also follow verse 17 of Chapter 4.)

⁸ Forsooth Mordecai besought the Lord, and was mindful of all his works/and he was mindful of all the works of the Lord, [Mordecai forsooth prayed the Lord, mindful of all his works,]

⁹ and said, Lord God, King Almighty, all things be set in thy lordship, either power, and there is none, that may against-stand thy will; if thou deemest for to save Israel, we shall be delivered anon (or at once). [and said, Lord, Lord, king almighty, in thy power all things be set, and there is not, that may withstand to thy will; if thou deem to save Israel anon we shall be delivered.]
