Ten sons

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which 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 to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and 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 shall receive of the Almighty.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Let there be none to extend mercy to him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.

Enemy

After these things king Ahasuerus promoted 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 bond-men and bond-women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

But on the spoil

That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.
