Esther 6:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,

⁸ Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,

⁹ And let the first of the king's princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
