10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

2Og alt, hvad han gjorde i sin Magt og Vælde, og en nøjagtig Skildring af den høje Værdighed, Kongen ophøjede Mordokaj til, staar optegnet i Mediens og Persiens Kongers Krønike.
3Thi Jøden Mordokaj havde den højeste Værdighed efter Kong Ahasverus, og han stod i høj Anseelse hos Jøderne og var elsket af sine mange Landsmænd, fordi han virkede for sit Folks vel og talte til Bedste for al sin Slægt.
