Esther 6:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.”

¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, ^(A)with his head covered. ¹³ Haman recounted ^(B)to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is ^[a]of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him.”
