Esther 9 reports compliance with the death sentence to the enemies of the Jews, which had been previously decreed. The Jews won their enemies and celebrated the victory with the institution of the Purim party. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Deuteronomy 25:19: "Therefore, when the Lord thy God has given you rest of all your enemies around the earth that the Lord your God gives you by inheritance, to possess it, shall erase the memory of Amaleque from heaven under heaven ; do not forget." This verse talks about God's command to eliminate the memory of the Amalequites, who were enemies of the Jews and were present in the history of Esther as descendants of Cogagan.

Proverbs 11:10: "When it goes well to the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is feast and joy." This verse talks about the joy of the city (or people) when the righteous is blessed and the wicked are destroyed, which happened in the history of Esther.

Psalm 37:39: "But the salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is his fortress in the time of anguish." This verse talks about the salvation of the righteous coming from God in difficult times, which can be applied to Jews in Esther's history.

Proverbs 28:28: "When the wicked rise, men hide; but when they perish, the righteous multiply." This verse talks about the wicked being hidden when they are in power, but when they are defeated, the righteous multiply. This can be applied to the story of Esther, where Haman, the wicked, was in power, but was defeated and the Jews were multiplied.

Isaiah 66:10-11: "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and rejoice for her, all you who love her; I have been filled with joy, all you who have muddy; of its consolations; to sue, and thoroughly delete your chest with the abundance of your glory. " This verse talks about the joy that will come to Jerusalem after its restoration, which can be applied to the celebration of the Jews in Esther's history after his victory.





“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
