La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Or, Haman sortit, en ce jour-là, joyeux et le cœur content; mais lorsqu'il vit, à la porte du roi, Mardochée, qui ne se leva point et ne se remua point pour lui, il fut rempli de colère contre Mardochée.
Darby's French Translation
Et ce jour-là Haman sortit joyeux et le coeur gai. Mais lorsque Haman vit à la porte du roi, Mardochée qui ne se leva ni ne bougea pour lui, Haman fut rempli de fureur contre Mardochée.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et Haman sortit en ce jour-là, joyeux et le cœur gai. Mais sitôt qu'il eut vu à la porte du Roi Mardochée, qui ne se leva point, et ne se remua point pour lui, Haman fut rempli de colère contre Mardochée.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then went Haman forth that day, joyful, and with a glad heart,.... From court to his own house

but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him; did not show him the least degree even of civil respect; which he refused to do, partly lest it should be interpreted an adoration of him, and partly because it was well known to him he had formed a scheme for the destruction of him and all his people; and the rather he refused it to him, as Esther was about to make intercession with the king to revoke his decree, of the success of which he had no doubt; and therefore had nothing to fear from him, but treated him with the utmost contempt, as he deserved:

he was full of wrath against Mordecai; it was a sad mortification to him, and a great allay of that joy and elation of mind on account of the favour he was in; not with the king only, but the queen also, as he imagined.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He stood not up, nor moved for him - This was undoubtedly a serious breach of Persian etiquette, and may well have angered Haman.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 5:9. That he stood not up, nor moved for him — This was certainly carrying his integrity or inflexibility to the highest pitch. But still we are left to conjecture that some reverence was required, which Mordecai could not conscientiously pay.
