After this, Mordecai returned to the King’s Gate. But Haman hurried home. He covered his face because he was ashamed and angry. He was ashamed and angry about what had happened. He told his wife and friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wife, Zeresh, and his friends who knew the law said, ‘You have already lost some of your power to Mordecai. If he is a Jew, you cannot fight against him. You cannot win against him.’ Esther 6:12-13
末底改仍回到朝門,哈曼卻憂憂悶悶地蒙着頭,急忙回家去了, 將所遇的一切事詳細說給他的妻細利斯和他的眾朋友聽。他的智慧人和他的妻細利斯對他說:「你在末底改面前始而敗落,他如果是猶大人,你必不能勝他,終必在他面前敗落。」 以斯帖記 6:12-13
