Jeremiah 48:26-30
New King James Version
26 “Make(A) him drunk,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision.
27 For (B)was not Israel a derision to you?
(C)Was he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in (D)scorn.
28 You who dwell in Moab,
Leave the cities and (E)dwell in the rock,
And be like (F)the dove which makes her nest
In the sides of the cave’s mouth.
29 “We have heard the (G)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and (H)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

Esther 3:8-13
New King James Version
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; (A)their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.”
10 So the king (B)took (C)his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the (D)enemy of the Jews. 11 And the king said to Haman, “The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you.”
12 (E)Then the king’s scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded—to the king’s satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province (F)according to its script, and to every people in their language. (G)In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king’s signet ring. 13 And the letters were (H)sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, (I)in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and (J)to plunder their [a]possessions.
