And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
And he teld to Zares, his wijf, and to frendis alle thingis þat hadden bifelde to hym. To whom þe wise men, whiche he hadde in counsel, and his wijf, answeriden, If Mardochee, bifor whom thou hast bigunne to falle, is of þe seed of Jewis, thou schalt not mowe ayenstonde hym, but thou schalt falle in his siyt.
