Esther 6:12

Mordecai Is Honored

¹¹ Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him: So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honoring. ¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, with his head covered. ¹³ And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what took place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.
