Esther 6:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Afterward, Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. Haman, however, hurried home, with his head covered^[a] in grief ¹³ and told Zeresh his wife and all his friends what had befallen him.

His friends and his wife, Zeresh, told him, “If Mordecai, before whom your downfall has started, is of the Jewish race, you will not be able to overcome him but will surely suffer defeat, because the living God is with him.”

¹⁴ Haman Is Put to Death. While they were still speaking, the king’s eunuchs arrived and took Haman to the banquet Esther had prepared.
