Esther 7:10
v. 10: The king orders Haman to be hanged on the very gallows he built for Mordecai. So they hanged Haman on the gallows (Esther 7:10 a). This is true justice—Haman’s evil plan comes back on himself. His pride is brought low, and his actions against God’s people are punished. As the Bible says, the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands (Psalm 7:15-16; Psalm 9:15-16 b). Haman wanted honor for himself and death for Mordecai, but now the opposite happens. This shows that God protects His people and repays the wicked (Psalm 28:4; Proverbs 11:8 c; Proverbs 21:18 d).After Haman is executed, the king’s anger finally calms down. Then was the king's wrath pacified. In the same way, God’s anger is satisfied when justice is done and evil is punished (Ezekiel 5:13 e).
