Esther 8:16-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And to the Jews came light and joy and gladness, and honor.

¹⁷ Also, in all and every province, and in all and every city and place where the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was joy and gladness to the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
