Esther 5:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ But Haman was able to control himself. He went on home.

Haman called together his friends and his wife Zeresh. ¹¹ He bragged to them about how rich he was. He talked about how many sons he had. He spoke about all the ways the king had honored him. He bragged about how the king had given him a high position. It was higher than the position of any of the other nobles and officials. ¹² “And that’s not all,” Haman added. “I’m the only person Queen Esther invited to come with the king to the feast she gave. Now she has invited me along with the king tomorrow.
