" And though I have all these things, I consider that I have nothing as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in front of the king’s gate.” "
— Esther 5:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
“Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate. ”
“Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."”
“Yet all of this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.””
“And whereas I have all these things, I think I have nothing, so long as I see Mardochai the Jew sitting before the king's gate.”
“But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.”
“Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
But, concealing his anger and returning into his house, he gathered to him his friends and Zeresh, his wife.

And after this, he said, “Also, queen Esther has called no one else to the feast with the king, except me. And I will be dining with the king again tomorrow.
And though I have all these things, I consider that I have nothing as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in front of the king’s gate.”
And Zeresh his wife and his other friends answered him, “Order a great beam to be prepared, having a height of fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, so that Mordecai may be hanged from it, and so you will go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This advice pleased him, and so he ordered a high cross to be prepared.
