"Let my soulnot enterinto their council;Let not my glorybe unitedwith their assembly;Becausein their angerthey slewmen,And in their self-willthey lamedoxen.
For the Jewsthere was lightand gladnessand joyand honor.
because on those daysthe Jewsridthemselvesof their enemies,and [it was a] monthwhichwas turnedfor them from sorrowinto gladnessand from mourninginto a holiday;that they should makethem daysof feastingand rejoicingand sendingportions[of food] to oneanotherand giftsto the poor.
