Haman Expresses His Hatred of Mordecai

9 Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. ^{▼▼tn Heb “happy and good of heart”; NASB “glad and pleased of heart”; NIV “happy and in high spirits.”} But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise or tremble in his presence, ^{▼▼tn Heb “tremble from before him”; NIV “nor showed fear in his presence”; TEV “or show any sign of respect as he passed.”} Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
