"answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor, "
— Esther 6:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,”
“And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor, ”
“Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,”
“So Haman said to the king,“For the man whom the king wishes to honor,”
“Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,”
“And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,”
“And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,”
And immediately the king said, “Who is in the atrium?” For, you see, Haman was entering the inner atrium of the king’s house to suggest to the king that he should order Mordecai to be hanged on the gallows, which had been prepared for him.
The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.
And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’ ”
And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
