tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
(C)but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
or see the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people go into exile
(D)for lack of knowledge;[a]
their (E)honored men go hungry,[b]
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has (F)enlarged its appetite
and opened (G)its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem[c] and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who (H)exults in her.

Esther 7:6-10
English Standard Version
6 And Esther said, (A)“A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
Haman Is Hanged
7 And the king arose in his wrath from the wine-drinking and went into (B)the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king. 8 And the king returned from (C)the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on (D)the couch where Esther was. And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face. 9 Then (E)Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, (F)the gallows[a] that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, (G)whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman's house, fifty cubits[b] high.” And the king said, “Hang him on that.” 10 (H)So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. (I)Then the wrath of the king abated.
