the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.

On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

συνηχθησαν οι Ιουδαιοι εν ταις πολεσιν αυτων κατα πασας τας επαρχιας του βασιλεως Ασσουηρου, δια να επιβαλωσι χειρα επι τους ζητουντας το κακον αυτων· και ουδεις ηδυνηθη να αντισταθη εις αυτους, διοτι ο φοβος αυτων επεπεσεν επι παντας τους λαους.
