Esther 5:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ What a happy man was Haman as he left the banquet! But when he saw Mordecai there at the gate, not standing up or trembling before him, he was furious. ¹⁰ However, he restrained himself, went on home, and gathered together his friends and Zeresh, his wife, ¹¹ and boasted to them about his wealth, his many children, and promotions the king had given him, and how he had become the greatest man in the kingdom next to the king himself.
