Esther 11

1And they shall observe these days, in the month Adar, on the fourteenth and on the fifteenth day of the month, with an assembly, and joy and gladness before God, throughout the generations for ever among his people Israel. 3a Jew dwelling in the city Susa, a great man, serving in the king's palace, saw a vision. 4Now he was of the captivity which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive from Jerusalem, with Jechonias the king of Judea. 5And this was his dream: Behold, voices and a noise, thunders and earthquake, tumult upon the earth. 6And, behold, two great serpents came forth, both ready for conflict, and there came from them a great voice, 7and by their voice every nation was prepared for battle, even to fight against the nation of the just. 8And, behold, a day of darkness and blackness, tribulation and anguish, affliction and great tumult upon the earth. 9And all the righteous nation was troubled, fearing their own afflictions; and they prepared to die, and cried to God: 10and from their cry there came as it were a great river from a little fountain, even much water. 12And light and the sun arose, and the lowly were exalted, and devoured the honourable.
