Thematic Bible: Of unworthy men


Thematic Bible



Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes.

Then Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the number of his sons, and every instance where the king had magnified him and how he had promoted him above the princes and servants of the king.

After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him.


Under a slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,

I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.
