Greek Esther 11:5–11

⁵Noises^b and confusion, thunder and earthquake, tumult on the earth! ⁶Then two great dragons came forward, both ready to fight, and they roared terribly.^{* 7}At their roaring every nation prepared for war, to fight against a nation of righteous people.^{* 8}It was a day of darkness and gloom, of tribulation and distress, affliction and great tumult on the earth!^{* 9}And the whole righteous nation was troubled; they feared the evils that threatened them^c and were ready to perish.^{* 10}Then they cried out to God, and at their outcry, as though from a tiny spring, there came a great river with abundant water;^{* 11}light came, and the sun rose, and the lowly were exalted and devoured those held in honor.^*
