Psalms 49:12
49:12 but, despite their wealth, people do not last,
they are like animals that perish.
Esther 5:11-14
5:11 Haman then recounted to them his fabulous wealth,
his many sons,
and how the king had magnified him and exalted him over the king’s other officials and servants.
5:12 Haman said, “Furthermore, Queen Esther invited
only me to accompany the king to the banquet that she prepared! And also tomorrow I am invited
along with the king.
5:13 Yet all of this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
5:14 Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a gallows seventy-five feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented.”
It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built.
Esther 7:10
7:10 So they hanged Haman on the very gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. The king’s rage then abated.
