15 ¶ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
… 
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
… 
11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
… 
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
… 
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
… 
14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
… 
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
… 
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
… 
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
