Esther 5:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Haman boasted to them about his great wealth and his many sons. He told all about how the king had honored him by promoting him over the officials and high royal workers. ¹² “Best of all,” Haman said, “Queen Esther has invited no one else but me to join the king for food and drinks that she has prepared. In fact, I’ve been called to join the king at her place tomorrow! ¹³ But all this loses its meaning every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King’s Gate.”
