Greek Esther 200:8 In-Context

6 At their roar every nation got ready for battle, to make war on the righteous nation.

7 Look! A day of darkness and gloom, misery and suffering, distress and chaos on the earth.

8 The entire righteous nation was thrown into a state of panic, dreading the evil that was coming against them. They expected to die.

9 So they cried out to God. Their cry was small at first, like a little spring, but soon it became loud as a mighty river, an abundance of water.

10 Then the sun with its light shone, the lowly were raised up high, and it devoured those who were held in honor.
