Esther 6:12-14

New Century Version

¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried home with his head covered, because he was embarrassed and ashamed. ¹³ He told his wife, Zeresh, and all his friends everything that had happened to him.

Haman’s wife and the men who gave him advice said, “You are starting to lose power to Mordecai. Since he is a Jew, you cannot win against him. You will surely be ruined.” ¹⁴ While they were still talking, the king’s eunuchs came to Haman’s house and made him hurry to the banquet Esther had prepared.
