Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.

When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry.He went as far as the front of the king’s gate, for no one might enter the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.And in every province where the king’s command and decree arrived, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.Now in my prosperity I said,“ I shall never be moved.”Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.I cried out to You, O Lord; And to the Lord I made supplication:“ What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!”You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the Lord, To the Mighty One of Israel.The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

“ Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”

Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.

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