Esther 6:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Then the king said to Haman, ‘Quickly, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to the Jew Mordecai who sits at the king’s gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.’ ¹¹ So Haman took the robes and the horse and robed Mordecai and led him riding through the open square of the city, proclaiming, ‘Thus shall it be done for the man whom the king wishes to honour.’

¹² Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.
