Thematic Bible: Of unworthy men


Thematic Bible



Luxury is not appropriate for a fool
how much less for a slave to rule over princes!

Then Haman described for them his glorious wealth and his many sons. He told them all how the king had honored him and promoted him in rank over the other officials and the royal staff.

After all this took place, King Ahasuerus honored Haman, son of Hammedatha the Agagite. He promoted him in rank and gave him a higher position than all the other officials.


a servant when he becomes king,
a fool when he is stuffed with food,

I have seen slaves on horses,
but princes walking on the ground like slaves.
