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

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.

When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry.He went up to the entrance of the king’s gate, for no one was allowed to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.And in every province, wherever the king’s command and his decree reached, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and many of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.

For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness.

For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.As for me, I said in my prosperity,“ I shall never be moved.”By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed.To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy:“ What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!”You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones.

“ Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.”

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

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

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