14Then ahis wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, b“Let a gallows
Or stake; twice in this verse
fifty cubits
A  cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

Esther 6:11-12

11So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.”

Wisdom Better than Folly

11 hAgain I saw that under the sun ithe race is not to the swift, nor jthe battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and kchance lhappen to them all.

Matthew 10:29-30

29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
Greek assarion, Roman copper coin (Latin quadrans) worth about 1/16 of a denarius (which was a day’s wage for a laborer)
And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
30But neven the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Acts 8:27-40

27And he rose and went. And there was an oEthiopian, a peunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, qwho was in charge of all her treasure. rHe had come to Jerusalem to worship 28and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31And he said, sHow can I, unless someone tguides me?” And uhe invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

vLike a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
33In his whumiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and xbeginning with this Scripture yhe told him the good news about Jesus. 36And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! zWhat prevents me from being baptized?”
Some manuscripts add all or most of verse 37: And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39And when they came up out of the water, abthe Spirit of the Lord accarried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
