Esther 9:23-25

New English Translation

²³ So the Jews committed themselves to continuing what they had begun to do and to what Mordecai had written to them. ²⁴ For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised plans against the Jews to destroy them. He had cast pur (that is, the lot) in order to afflict and destroy them. ²⁵ But when the matter came to the king’s attention, the king^[a] gave written orders that Haman’s^[b] evil intentions that he had devised against the Jews should fall on his own head. He and his sons were hanged on the gallows.
