Ten sons

And Haman recounted unto them 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.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men.

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.

Enemy

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.

for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage.

And he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

But on the spoil

that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
