17:009:024 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of
           all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them,
           and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to
           destroy them;

17:009:025 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters
           that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews,
           should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons
           should be hanged on the gallows.

17:009:026 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. 
           Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which
           they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto
           them,

17:009:027 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed,
           and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it
           should not fail, that they would keep these two days according
           to their writing, and according to their appointed time every
           year;

17:009:028 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout
           every generation, every family, every province, and every
           city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among
           the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

17:009:029 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai
           the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second
           letter of Purim.

17:009:030 And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred
           twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with
           words of peace and truth,

17:009:031 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed,
           according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had
           enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for
           their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

17:009:032 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and
           it was written in the book.

17:010:001 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon
           the isles of the sea.

17:010:002 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the
           declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king
           advanced him, are they not written in the book of the
           chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

17:010:003 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great
           among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren,
           seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all
           his seed.

Book 18 Job

18:001:001 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and
           that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and
           eschewed evil.
