For wicked men are found among my people; they lurk like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men.

If they say,“ Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder;throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.

But as for me, I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”And they told Mordecai what Esther had said.Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther,“ Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down only the king,and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, and all the people will be at peace.”And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.”Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther,“ Who is he, and where is he, who has dared to do this?”And Esther said,“ A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.

Woe is me! For I have become as when the summer fruit has been gathered, as when the grapes have been gleaned: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.The godly has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts the other with a net.
