Esther 5:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ That day Haman left full of joy and in good spirits.^[a](A) But when Haman saw Mordecai at the King’s Gate, and Mordecai didn’t rise or tremble in fear at his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.^{(B) 10} Yet Haman controlled himself and went home. He sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh^(C) to join him. ¹¹ Then Haman described for them his glorious wealth and his many sons. He told them all how the king had honored him and promoted him in rank over the other officials and the royal staff.^(D)
