7. And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8. let the royal apparel be brought which the king wears, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the royal crown which is set upon his head;
9. and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that he may clothe the man whom the king delights 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 delights to honour.
10. Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so unto Mordecai, the Jew, that sits at the king’s gate; let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11. Then Haman took the apparel and the horse and clothed Mordecai and brought him on horseback through the plaza of the city and caused it to be proclaimed before him, Thus shall be done unto the man whom the king delights to honour.
12. After that Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman hastened to his house mourning and having his head covered.
