Additions to Esther 14:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ Lord, give thou not thy king’s rod (or thy sceptre) to them, that be nought, lest they laugh at our falling; but turn thou the counsel of them upon themselves, and destroy thou him, that began to be cruel against us. [Not take thou, Lord, thy king’s dignity to them, that be not, lest they laugh at our falling; but turn the counsel of them upon them, and him that in us began to wax fears, scatter.]

¹² Lord, have thou mind, and show thee to us in the time of tribulation; and, Lord, King of gods, and King of all power, give thou trust to me; [Have mind, Lord, and show thee to us in time of our tribulation; and give to me trust, Lord, king of Jews, and of all power;]

¹³ give thou a word well (ad)dressed, (or well-directed), in my mouth in the sight of the lion Ahasuerus^[a], and turn over his heart into the hatred of our enemy, (so) that both he perish, and other men that consented to him. [give a seemly word in my mouth in the sight of the lion, and bear over the heart of him into the hate of our enemy, that and he perish, and others that consent to him.]
