Esther 6

Gen Z: Esther 6

1That night, the king couldn't catch any Z's, so he was like, "Bring me the records, fam," and they read them to him.

2They found out that Mordecai spilled the tea on Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's peeps, who were plotting on him.

3The king was like, "What’s the vibe? What’s been done for Mordecai?" And his squad was like, "Nada, bro."

4The king asked, "Who’s out in the court?" And Haman was out there trying to convince the king to hang Mordecai on his own gallows.

5The king’s crew was like, "Yo, Haman’s out there." The king was like, "Let him roll in."

6Haman came in, and the king was like, "What should we do for the dude I wanna honor?" Haman thought, "For sure it’s gotta be me."

7Haman replied, "For the guy you wanna honor,"

8"Bring out the royal drip, the horse the king rides, and the crown to flex on his head."

9"And give this drip and horse to one of the king's top homies, so they can flex him around the city and shout, ‘This is how we roll for the dude the king wants to honor!’"

10The king was like, "Bet, hurry up! Get the drip and the horse for Mordecai the Jew chilling at the gate; don’t skip any of it!"

11So Haman grabbed the drip and the horse, styled up Mordecai, and rolled him through the city, shouting, "This is how it goes for the dude the king wants to honor!"

12Mordecai went back to the king’s gate, but Haman rushed home all sad, with his head down.

13Haman told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that went down. They were like, "If Mordecai’s a Jew and you’re trippin', you’re about to fall hard, no cap."

14While they were still chatting, the king’s peeps showed up to rush Haman to the banquet Esther set up.

KJV: Esther 6

1On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

2And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

3And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.

4And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

5And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

6So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?

7And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

8Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:

9And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

10Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

11Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

12And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

13And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.

14And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
