Esther 6:12-14
The Voice
12 When it was done, Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman fled to his home, mourning and covering his head in humiliation. 13 He told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends everything that had happened to him. They offered him a bit of wise advice.
Zeresh and His Friends: You must be very careful with how you handle Mordecai! If he really is a Jew, a descendant of the nation that defeated your ancestors, then you won’t be able to succeed. In fact, you will most certainly be destroyed! Look, you’ve already begun to bow to him.
14 In the middle of their conversation, the king’s eunuchs arrived at Haman’s house and rushed him off to have dinner with Esther and the king.

His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall(C) has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him—you will surely come to ruin!”(D) 14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet(E) Esther had prepared.
