Esther 9:1-3
Contemporary English Version
The Jews Destroy Their Enemies
9 The first law that the king had made was to be followed on the thirteenth day of Adar,[a] the twelfth month. This was the very day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to do away with them. But the Jews turned things around, 2 and in the cities of every province they came together to attack their enemies. Everyone was afraid of the Jews, and no one could do anything to oppose them.
3 The leaders of the provinces, the rulers, the governors, and the court officials were afraid of Mordecai and took sides with the Jews.
