          <english>[God] foiled the nations’ plan, blocked the designs of the crafty. Against us rose an evil man, a proud bough of Amalek’s tree, haughty, rich, he dug his own pit; his hubris became the snare that caught him. Caught in the snare he laid for others; seeking to ruin, he was ruined. Haman shared his ancestors’ hate, and roused against children the enmity of brothers. Saul’s act of mercy he did not remember, nor his pity for Agag, by which a new enemy was born. The wicked schemed to cut off the righteous, yet the impure were defeated by the pure.</english>
