5 jab haman ne dekha, ki mordakaai naheen jhukata, aur n mujh ko dandvat karata haai, tab haman bahut hee krodhait hua.
6 us ne keval mordakaai par hath chalana apanee maryada ke neeche jana. kyonki unhon ne haman ko yah bata diya tha, ki mordakaai kis jati ka haai, isaliye haman ne kshayarsha ke samraajy men rahanevale sare yahoodiyon ko bhee mordakaai kee jaati janakar, vinash kar dalane kee yuktai nikalee.
