This day the women of nobility from Persia and Media will respond to all the officials of the king and there will be no end to contempt and anger.

And Haman saw that Mordecai was not kneeling and bowing down to him, and he was filled [with] anger.

The king rose in his anger {from the banquet} [and went] to the palace garden, and Haman stood to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for {he realized that the king was determined to make an end to his life}.

And they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the anger of the king was abated.
