Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, and wailed loudly and bitterly.He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.In every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.As for me, I said in my prosperity,“ I shall never be moved.”You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:“ What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.

“ Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
