CLV(i)
2 All the king's courtiers in the king's gateway were bowing down and prostrating themselves before Haman; for so were the instructions the king had given concerning him. As for Mordecai, he did neither bow down nor prostrate himself.
3 So the king's courtiers in the king's gateway said to Mordecai:For what reason are you trespassing the king's instruction?
4 Then it came to be, when they had spoken to him day after day and he had not hearkened to them, that they told Haman in order to see whether Mordecai's affairs would persist; for he had professed to them that he was a Jew.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing down nor prostrating himself before him, Haman was filled with fury.
