Esther 9:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ So the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mor′decai had written to them. ²⁴ For Haman the Ag′agite, the son of Hammeda′tha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to crush and destroy them; ²⁵ but when Esther came before the king, he gave orders in writing that his wicked plot which he had devised against the Jews should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
