Est 3:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15 : After issuing the decree, the king and Haman sat down to drink, showing their indifference to the suffering they had just caused. Meanwhile, the city of Shushan was in confusion and distress (Esther 3:15 ). Many people, including non-Jews, were troubled by the injustice of the decree and feared its consequences. This contrast between the king’s carelessness and the people’s concern highlights the moral failure of those in power. It is a reminder that we should never celebrate or ignore the suffering of others, especially when injustice is involved.
