When he joined himself to a government of flattery, we nearly stumbled and fell. They gladly sealed a pact to sell us, as one possessing an unwanted mound freely gives it to one possessing an unwanted pit. Defense there was none. They said, “Come, let us wipe them out from among nations: Israel’s name shall be recalled no more.” My eyes turned toward heaven and I called on You to curse my foes: “Cut off name and remnant; blot out their name, let it rot. And be Enemy to my enemies; bring them down in the very snares with which they deceived the people of Jacob.” And they said, “The LORD will not see; the God of Jacob will not understand.” Yet God afflicted the dispersed ones and made them mournful – but did not intend to destroy them utterly. They were guilty on the face of things, and thus He terrorized them. By removing a ring, He made them tremble. But God fulfilled the good of His word, lifting them up in the sight of nations. “In the land of their enemies He did not reject them, nor detest them to the point of destruction.” He disclosed the omen of events for a nation begrimed and scratched over. He wrote “I shall surely hide (astir) Myself” as a hint of Esther, and fragrant “pure myrrh,” rendered “mar-dokh,” as a hint of Mordekhai; all to put an end to Haman on the Citation Ps. 83 Citation Ps. 94 Citation Lev. 26
