← Esther 6:12	Esther 6:13 (KJV)	Esther 6:14 →
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.	And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.	And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
