Now on the seventh day the king, being merry, told Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Zethar, Abagtha, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs, servants of King Artaxerxes,

While they were yet speaking, the eunuchs arrived, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

And he lifted up his face toward the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.

And Zeresh his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for you of fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and let Mordecai be hanged on the gallows. But go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Haman, and the gallows was prepared.

Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.

And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he flees desperately from out of His hand.

He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.

His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.

Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the net which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.

Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.

Righteousness traces out blameless paths, but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.

The righteousness of upright men delivers them, but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.

And two of the king's eunuchs, the chiefs of the bodyguard, were grieved, because Mordecai was promoted; and they sought to kill King Artaxerxes.

And the king examined the two eunuchs, and hanged them. And the king gave orders to make a note for a memorial in the royal records of the good offices of Mordecai, as a commendation.

And he found the records written concerning Mordecai, how he had told the king concerning the two eunuchs of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.

also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mordecai. But all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.

And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.

He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.

His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.

The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. Pause.

Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the net which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.

I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Lebanon.

Yet I passed by, and lo! He was not; and I sought him, but his place was not found.

How have they become desolate! Suddenly they have failed; they have perished because of their iniquity.

Righteousness traces out blameless paths, but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.

The righteousness of upright men delivers them, but transgressors are caught in their own destruction.

All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute, and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except for you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, their children, and their wives. And they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
