Esther 1:13Modern English VersionThen the king spoke to the wise men, who understood the times (for in this way the king would speak before all who understood law and judgment). See the chapter |
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever shall read this writing and show me its interpretation shall be clothed with scarlet and have a chain of gold about his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
