Haman’s Plan to Kill Mordecai

⁹ Haman went out that day pleased and happy, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and that he did not stand up and tremble in his presence, Haman was furious with Mordecai. ¹⁰ Haman restrained himself, went to his house, and sent for^[a] his friends and his wife Zeresh. ¹¹ Then Haman told them about his splendid wealth, the number^[b] of his sons, all the ways the king had honored^[c] him, and that he had promoted him above all the other officials and ministers^[d] of the king.
