Esther 6:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried home with his head covered in ·mourning [humiliation]. ¹³ He told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends everything that had happened to him.

Haman’s wife and ·advisers [wise friends] said, “You are ·starting to lose power to [^Lbeginning to fall before] Mordecai. ·Since [or If] he is ·a Jew [^Lfrom the seed of the Jews], you cannot ·win [prevail; stand] against him. You will surely ·be ruined [fall before him].” ¹⁴ While they were still talking, the king’s eunuchs came to Haman’s house and hurried him to the banquet Esther had prepared.
