11 Haman got the king's robe and put it on Mordecai. He led him through the city on the horse and shouted as he went, “This is how the king honours a man!”
12 Afterwards, Mordecai returned to his duties at the palace gate, and Haman hurried home, hiding his face in shame.
13 Haman told his wife and friends what had happened. Then his wife and his advisers said, “If Mordecai is a Jew, this is just the beginning of your troubles! You will end up a ruined man.”
14 They were still talking, when the king's servants came and quickly took Haman to the dinner that Esther had prepared.
