Ester 10

Grandeza de Mardoqueo

1 El rey Asuero impuso tributo sobre la tierra y sobre las costas del mar.2 Y todos los actos de su autoridad y poder, y todo el relato de la grandeza de Mardoqueo, con que el rey le engrandeció, ¿no están escritos en el Libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Media y Persia?3 Porque el Judío Mardoqueo era el segundo después del rey Asuero, grande entre los Judíos y estimado por la multitud de sus hermanos, el cual buscó el bien de su pueblo y procuró el bienestar de toda su gente.
