ESTHER 7:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
Esth 7:9Esth 8

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath was pacified, demonstrating the execution of Haman on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai and the resolution of the king's anger through this act of justice.

The verse illustrates the theological principle that God works through the devices of the wicked to accomplish justice and the vindication of the righteous.
