Esther 5:13-14

New International Version

¹³ But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.^(A)”

¹⁴ His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a pole set up, reaching to a height of fifty cubits,^[a](B) and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai impaled^(C) on it. Then go with the king to the banquet and enjoy yourself.” This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had the pole set up.
