Esther 9:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 And the Jews promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them,
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite all the Jews’ adversary had imagined against the Jews to destroy them, and had [a]cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
25 And when [b]she came before the king, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked [c]device (which he imagined against the Jews) turn upon his own head, and let them hang him and his sons on the tree.
