Grandeza de Mardoqueo

10 El rey Asuero no sólo impuso tributo a los países que estaban sobre tierra firme, sino también a los que quedaban sobre las islas del mar. Sus grandes hechos, y también un relato completo de la grandeza de Mardoqueo y de los honores que le dio el rey están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Media y de Persia. El judío Mardoqueo fue primer ministro con autoridad muy cercana a la del mismo rey Asuero. Por supuesto, él fue muy grande entre los judíos, y lo respetaban todos sus compatriotas, porque hacía todo cuanto podía por su pueblo, y se preocupaba por el bienestar de todos ellos.
