我在異象中觀看，看見自己在以攔省的蘇薩城堡中；我在異象中繼續觀看，又看見自己在烏萊運河邊。

其時、我恍若在以攔州、書珊宮、我於異象中、在烏萊河濱、

恍惚間若在以攔國書山殿、烏來河濱、

我見異象之時、以為我在以攔州、書珊城、我於異象中彷彿在烏萊河濱、

以下是哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的记述。波斯王亚达薛西二十年基斯流月，我在书珊城里。

亚哈随鲁王在书珊城登基，

心利的众王、以拦的众王和玛代的众王，

那时，示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略、以拦王基大老玛和戈印王提达联合攻打以下五王：所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别和比拉王，即琐珥王。

王的谕旨一下，许多年轻的女子被召到书珊城中，交给管理女子的希该照管。以斯帖也被送到王宫中交给希该。

闪的儿子是以拦、亚述、亚法撒、路德、亚兰。

以拦在那里，她的百姓在她坟墓的周围。他们都未受割礼，丧身刀下，下到了阴间。他们生前曾使人恐惧，如今却和下坟墓的人一同抱愧蒙羞。

但以理说：“我在夜间的异象中看见天风四面吹来，搅动大海。

亚达月十四日，书珊城的犹太人再次聚集起来，在城中杀了三百人，但没有动他们的财物。

我举目观看，见一只长着长角的公绵羊站在河边，其中一角比另一角长，较长的角是后长出来的。

末底改身穿蓝色和白色朝服，头戴大金冠，披着紫色细麻布外袍，从王那里出来，书珊城的人都欢呼雀跃。

“我但以理心中不安，脑中出现的异象令我恐惧，

当天，王获悉在书珊城被杀的人数，

犹大王西底迦执政初期，耶和华告诉了耶利米先知有关以拦的事。万军之耶和华说：“看啊，我要摧毁以拦的弓箭手——他们的精锐之师。我要使敌人从四面八方如风而来，把以拦人驱散到四方，使他们流落到列国。我要让仇敌击溃他们，我要发烈怒降祸给他们，用刀剑追杀他们，直到彻底消灭他们。这是耶和华说的。我要在以拦设立我的宝座，消灭那里的君王和官长。这是耶和华说的。但将来有一天，我要使被掳的以拦人重建家园。这是耶和华说的。”

耶和华说：“你们听我说，你们中间若有先知，我耶和华必在异象中向他显现，在梦中跟他说话。

我看见一个令人胆战心惊的异象：“诡诈的在行诡诈，毁灭的在行毁灭。以拦人啊，攻打吧！玛代人啊，围城吧！耶和华必终止巴比伦带来的痛苦。”

到那日，主必再次伸手从亚述、埃及、巴特罗、古实、以拦、示拿、哈马和众海岛救回祂剩余的子民。

在古代，上帝曾借着先知以各种方式多次向我们的祖先说话；

信差奉王的命令急忙上路，谕旨也在书珊城里颁布了。王和哈曼坐下饮酒，书珊城一片慌乱。

以斯帖回答说：“敌人和仇家就是这恶人哈曼！”哈曼在王和王后面前十分惊恐。
