Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
Esther 9:5Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
Psalms 44:13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
Psalms 44:14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
Psalms 123:3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
