Ahab went home, depressed and angry over what Naboth had said to him. He lay down on his bed, facing the wall, and would not eat.

Ahab answered, "There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad." "You shouldn't say that!" Jehoshaphat replied.

But none of this means a thing to me as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the entrance of the palace."

Mordecai then went back to the palace entrance while Haman hurried home, covering his face in embarrassment.

He told his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then she and those wise friends of his told him, "You are beginning to lose power to Mordecai. He is a Jew, and you cannot overcome him. He will certainly defeat you."

To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do.

Some people ruin themselves by their own stupid actions and then blame the LORD.
