Then were the king's H4428 scribes H5608 called H7121 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month, H2320 and there was written H3789 according to all H3605 that Haman H2001 had commanded H6680 to the king's H4428 lieutenants, H323 and to the governors H6346 that were over H5921 every province, H4082 and to the rulers H8269 of every people H5971 of every province H4082 according to the writing H3791 thereof, and to every people H5971 after their language; H3956 in the name H8034 of king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 was it written, H3789 and sealed H2856 with the king's H4428 ring. H2885

And he wrote H3789 in the king H4428 Ahasuerus' H325 name, H8034 and sealed H2856 it with the king's H4428 ring, H2885 and sent H7971 letters H5612 by posts H7323 on horseback, H5483 and riders H7392 on mules, H7409 camels, H327 and young H1121 dromedaries: H7424

Woe H1945 to them that decree H2710 unrighteous H205 decrees, H2711 and that write H3789 grievousness H5999 which they have prescribed; H3789

Then H116 they came H7127 near, H7127 and spoke H560 before H6925 the king H4430 concerning H5922 the king's H4430 decree; H633 Have you not signed H7560 a decree, H633 that every H3606 man H606 that shall ask H1156 a petition of any H3606 God H426 or man H606 within H5705 thirty H8533 days, H3118 save H3861 of you, O king, H4430 shall be cast H7412 into the den H1358 of lions? H744 The king H4430 answered H6032 and said, H560 The thing H4406 is true, H3330 according to the law H1882 of the Medes H4076 and Persians, H6540 which H1768 alters H5709 not.

Then H116 these H479 men H1400 assembled H7284 to the king, H4430 and said H560 to the king, H4430 Know, H3046 O king, H4430 that the law H1882 of the Medes H4076 and Persians H6540 is, That no H3606 H3809 decree H633 nor statute H7010 which H1768 the king H4430 establishes H6966 may be changed. H8133

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.

And Esther H635 spoke H1696 yet again H3254 before H6440 the king, H4428 and fell H5307 down at H6440 his feet, H7272 and sought H2603 him with tears H1058 to put H5674 away H5674 the mischief H7451 of Haman H2001 the Agagite, H91 and his device H4284 that he had devised H2803 against H5921 the Jews. H3064

Heaven G3772 and earth G1093 shall pass G3928 away, G3928 but my words G3056 shall not pass G3928 away. G3928
