Esther 11:7-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And at their cry all nations were stirred up to fight against the nation of the just.

⁸ And that was a day of darkness and danger, of tribulation and distress, and great fear upon the earth.

⁹ And the nation of the just was troubled fearing their own evils, and was prepared for death.

¹⁰ And they cried to God: and as they were crying, a little fountain grew into a very great river, and abounded into many waters.

¹¹ The light and the sun rose up, and the humble were exalted, and they devoured the glorious.

¹² And when Mardochai had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking what God would do: and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dream should signify.
