Why H3605 at that time H2166 certain H1400 Chaldeans H3779 came H7127 near, H7127 and accused H399 H7170 the Jews. H3064

You, O king, H4430 have made H7761 a decree, H2942 that every H3606 man H606 that shall hear H8086 the sound H7032 of the cornet, H7162 flute, H4953 harp, H7030 sackbut, H5443 psaltery, H6460 and dulcimer, H5481 and all H3606 kinds H2177 of music, H2170 shall fall H5308 down and worship H5457 the golden H1722 image: H6755

There are certain H1400 Jews H3064 whom H3487 you have set H4483 over H5921 the affairs H5673 of the province H4083 of Babylon, H895 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abednego; H5665 these H479 men, H1400 O king, H4430 have not regarded H7761 H2942 you: they serve H6399 not your gods, H426 nor H3809 worship H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 which H1768 you have set H6966 up.

And when her masters G2962 saw G1492 that the hope G1680 of their gains G2039 was gone, G1831 they caught G1949 Paul G3972 and Silas, G4609 and drew G1670 them into G1519 the marketplace G58 to the rulers, G758

Who, G3739 having received G2983 such G5108 a charge, G3852 thrust G906 them into G1519 the inner G2082 prison, G5438 and made G805 their feet G4228 fast G805 in the stocks. G3586

And when he was called G2564 forth, G2564 Tertullus G5061 began G756 to accuse G2723 him, saying, G3004 Seeing that by you we enjoy G5177 great G4183 quietness, G1515 and that very G2735 worthy G2735 deeds G2735 are done G1096 to this G5129 nation G1484 by your providence, G4307

Notwithstanding, that I be not further G1909 G4118 tedious G1465 to you, I pray G3870 you that you would hear G191 us of your clemency G1932 a few G4935 words.

Who G3739 also G2532 has gone G3985 about G3985 to profane G953 the temple: G2411 whom G3739 we took, G2902 and would G2309 have judged G2919 according G2596 to our law. G3551

Commanding G2753 his accusers G2725 to come G2064 to you: by examining G350 of whom G3739 yourself G846 may take knowledge G1921 of all G3956 these G5130 things, whereof G3739 we accuse G2723 him.

Now, H3705 O king, H4430 establish H6966 the decree, H633 and sign H7560 the writing, H3792 that it be not changed, H8133 according to the law H1882 of the Medes H4076 and Persians, H6540 which H1768 alters H5709 not.

If H518 it please H2895 the king, H4428 let there go H3318 a royal H4438 commandment H1697 from him, and let it be written H3789 among the laws H1881 of the Persians H6539 and the Medes, H4074 that it be not altered, H5674 That Vashti H2060 come H935 no H3808 more before H6440 king H4428 Ahasuerus; H325 and let the king H4428 give H5414 her royal H4438 estate to another H7468 that is better H2896 than she.
