And his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Make a wooden gallows fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak to the king and let them hang Mordecai on it; and go rejoicing in with the king to the banquet. And the thing was good in Haman’s eyes. And he caused the wooden gallows to be made.
All my bones shall say: O Jehovah, who is like You, who delivers the weak one from the ones stronger than he; yes, the poor and needy one from his plunderer?
You are of purer eyes than to look upon evil, and You are not able to look upon mischief. Why do you regard those acting deceitfully? Will You be silent when the wicked one swallows the more righteous one than he?
And Peter coming to be within himself said, Now I know truly that the Lord sent out His angel and delivered me out of Herod’s hand, and out of all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed the ones before proclaiming concerning the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers,
not as Cain was, of the evil one, and slaughtered his brother. And for the sake of what did he slaughter him? Because his works were evil, but the things of his brother were righteous.
And my father, behold! Yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand. For in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you are lying in wait for my soul, to take it.
