19
e said, "O Lord, Lord, you rule as King over all things, for the universe is in your power and there is no one who can oppose you when it is your will to save Israel,
20
for you have made heaven and earth and every wonderful thing under heaven.
21
You are Lord of all, and there is no one who can resist you, the Lord.
22
You know all things; you know, O Lord, that it was not in insolence or pride or for any love of glory that I did this, and refused to bow down to this proud Haman;
23
for I would have been willing to kiss the soles of his feet to save Israel!
