1 A treći dan obuče se Jestira u carsko odelo, i stade u tremu unutrašnjeg dvora carskog prema stanu carevom; a car seđaše na carskom prestolu svom u dvoru carskom prema vratima od dvora. 2 I kad car ugleda caricu Jestiru gde stoji u tremu, ona nađe milost pred njim, te car pruži prema Jestiri zlatnu palicu koja mu beše u ruci, i Jestira pristupi i dotače se kraja od palice. 3 I reče joj car: Šta ti je, carice Jestiro? I šta želiš? Ako je i do polovine carstva, daće ti se. 4 A Jestira reče: Ako je ugodno caru, neka dođe car s Amanom danas na obed koji sam mu zgotovila. 5 A car reče: Zovite brže Amana da učini šta reče Jestira. I dođe car s Amanom na obed koji zgotovi Jestira. 6 Potom car, napiv se vina, reče Jestiri: Šta želiš? Daće ti se; i šta moliš? Ako je i do polovine carstva, biće. 7 A Jestira odgovarajući reče: Želim i molim: 8 Ako sam našla milost pred carem, i ako je ugodno caru da mi da šta želim i učini šta molim, neka opet dođe car s Amanom na obed koji ću im zgotoviti, i sutra ću učiniti po reči carevoj. 9 I tako otide Aman onaj dan veseo i dobre volje. Ali kad vide Aman Mardoheja na vratima carevim, a on ne usta niti se mače pred njim, napuni se Aman gneva na Mardoheja. 10 Ali se uzdrža Aman dokle dođe kući svojoj; potom posla i sazva prijatelje svoje i Seresu ženu svoju. 11 I pripovedi im Aman o slavi bogatstva svog i o mnoštvu sinova svojih i o svemu čim ga je podigao car i kako ga je uzvisio svrh knezova i sluga carskih. 12 I doda Aman: Pa i carica Jestira nikoga osim mene ne poziva s carem na obed, koji beše zgotovila, pa i sutra sam pozvan k njoj s carem. 13 Ali sve to nije mi ni na šta dokle god gledam onog Mardoheja Judejca gde sedi na vratima carevim. 14 Tada mu reče Seresa, žena njegova i svi prijatelji njegovi: Neka načine vešala visoka pedeset lakata, i ujutru reci caru da se na njima obesi Mardohej, pa idi s carem veseo na obed. I to bi po volji Amanu i pripravi vešala.
