Esther 5:9-14 - Haman Expresses His Hatred Of Mordecai
9 Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart. When he saw Mordecai in the king's gate and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai. 10 But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife. 11 He gave them an account of the glories of his wealth. The number of children he had. He recalled the ways in which he had been honored by the king. How the king put him over the captains and servants of the king. 12 Haman continued: Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast she made ready for the king. Tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king. 13 But all this is nothing to me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's gate.
14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him: Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him. In the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai. Then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.
