Additions to Esther 8:31 In-Context

29 "You will therefore do well not to put in execution the letters sent by Haman the son of Hammedatha,

30 because the man himself who did these things has been hanged at the gate of Susa, with all his household. For God, who rules over all things, has speedily inflicted on him the punishment he deserved.

31 "Therefore post a copy of this letter publicly in every place, and permit the Jews to live under their own laws.

32 And give them reinforcements, so that on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, Adar, on that very day they may defend themselves against those who attack them at the time of their affliction.

33 For God, who rules over all things, has made this day to be a joy to his chosen people instead of a day of destruction for them.
