Esther 3:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And the king's servants that were chief at the doors of the palace, said to him: Why dost thou alone not observe the king's commandment?

⁴ And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them; they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

⁵ Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry.
