Greek Esther 9:2-4

Common English Bible

² On that day, the Jews’ enemies perished. Out of fear for the Jews, no one stood in their way. ³ All the leaders of the provinces, the governors, and those in charge of the king’s business respected the Jews. They were afraid of Mordecai, ⁴ because the king decreed that Mordecai’s name was to be honored throughout the kingdom.^[a]
