11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, ^athe number of his sons, all the promotions with which ^bthe king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and the servants of the king.

Job 5:3

3 ^cI have seen the fool taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.

Job 21:7-17

7 ^dWhy do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their ^eoffspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
9 Their houses are ^fsafe from fear,
and ^gno rod of God is upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and ^hdoes not miscarry.
11 They send out their ⁱlittle boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12 They sing to ^jthe tambourine and ^kthe lyre
and rejoice to the sound of ^lthe pipe.
13 They ^mspend their days in prosperity,
and in ⁿpeace they go down to ^oSheol.
14 They say to God, ^p‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
15 ^qWhat is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what ^rprofit do we get if we pray to him?’
16 Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand?
^sThe counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 “How often is it that ^tthe lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity comes upon them?
That God ^{▼▼Hebrew he} distributes pains in his anger?

Psalms 73:3-11

3 ^vFor I was ^wenvious of the arrogant
when I saw the ^xprosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not ^ystricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is ^ztheir necklace;
violence covers them as ^aaa garment.
7 Their ^abeyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and ^acspeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find ^adno fault in them. ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew the waters of a full cup are drained by them}
11 And they say, ^af“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”

Isaiah 14:14-19

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’
15 ^agBut you are brought down to Sheol,
to the far reaches of the pit.
16 Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
‘Is this ^ahthe man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,
17 who made the world like a desert
and overthrew its cities,
^aiwho did not let his prisoners go home?’
18 All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
each in his own tomb; ^{▼▼Hebrew house}
19 but you are cast out, away from your grave,
like a loathed branch,
^akclothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword,
who go down to the stones of the pit,
like a dead body trampled underfoot.
