Esther 6:12

Mordecai Is Honored

¹¹ So Haman took the garment and the horse. He clothed Mordecai and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man the king wants to honor.” ¹² Then Mordecai returned to the King’s Gate, but Haman, overwhelmed, hurried off for home with his head covered. ¹³ Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai is Jewish, and you have begun to fall before him, you won’t overcome him, because your downfall is certain.”
