Esther 15:7-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. But the two dragons are I and Haman.

8. The peoples who gathered together are those who had attempted to erase the name of the Jews.

9. And my people is Israel, who cried out to the Lord, and the Lord brought salvation to his people, and he freed us from all evils, and he created great signs and portents among the nations.

10. And he commanded there to be two lots, one for the people of God and the other for all the nations.

11. And both lots arrived at the day appointed before God, even from that past time, for all peoples.

12. And the Lord remembered his people and had mercy on his inheritance.

13. And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar, on the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the same month, with all zealousness and joy, by the people gathered together into one union, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel."
