Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered. When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his advisors and his wife Zeresh said to him.
‘If Mordecai, before whom you downfall has begun,
Is of the Jewish people,
You will not prevail against him.
But will surely fall before him.’
While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived. They hurried Haman off to the banquet that Queen Esther had prepared.”
Haman went back home with his head covered. He was in mourning for himself. After he told his friends and wife what had happened, they warned him that this might be the beginning of the end. If this Jewish Mordecai prevailed, he would surely fail. Just as they were still talking, the king’s eunuchs arrived to take him to the banquet of Queen Esther. Maybe things will brighten up there.
