Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, proclaiming before him:‘ Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.’”Then the king said to Haman,“ Hurry; take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.”So 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.”
