² All the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did him reverence.

¹² When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

²⁴ The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
