Esther 3:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Then the king’s advisers at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you ignore the king’s command?” ⁴ Although they asked him day after day, he paid no attention to them. So they informed Haman to see if Mordecai’s actions would be tolerated, since Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

⁵ When Haman saw that Mordecai did not kneel and bow to him, Haman was infuriated.
