And Haman went out that day joyful and good of heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai in the gate of the king, that he did not stand up or move for him, he was full of fury against Mordecai.

But Haman held himself in, and came to his house, and sent for and brought in his friends, and his wife Zeresh.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and his many sons, and all to which the king had promoted him, and how he lifted him up above the rulers and the servants of the king.

And Haman said, Also, Esther the queen did not let anyone come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared, except me. And also tomorrow I am called to it with the king.

Yet all this is no gain to me as long as I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

And his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Make a wooden gallows fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak to the king and let them hang Mordecai on it; and go rejoicing in with theking to the banquet. And the thing was good inHaman's eyes. And he caused the wooden gallows to be made.
