Esther 6:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ So Haman took the robe and the horse, and he ·put the robe on [clothed; arrayed; robed] Mordecai. Then he led him on horseback through the city ·streets [square], announcing before Mordecai: “This is what is done for the man whom the king ·wants [delights] to honor!”

¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried home with his head covered in ·mourning [humiliation]. ¹³ He told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends everything that had happened to him.

Haman’s wife and ·advisers [wise friends] said, “You are ·starting to lose power to [^Lbeginning to fall before] Mordecai. ·Since [or If] he is ·a Jew [^Lfrom the seed of the Jews], you cannot ·win [prevail; stand] against him. You will surely ·be ruined [fall before him].”
