The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.

When the righteous do well, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there is joy.

Now when Mordecai became aware of all that had been done, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth and ashes. He went out into the city, crying out in a loud and bitter voice.But he went no further than the king’s gate, for no one was permitted to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.Throughout each and every province where the king’s edict and law were announced there was considerable mourning among the Jews, along with fasting, weeping, and sorrow. Sackcloth and ashes were characteristic of many.

Indeed, you are my lamp, LORD. My God illuminates the darkness around me.

For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one’s life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning.In my self-confidence I said,“ I will never be upended.”O LORD, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified.To you, O LORD, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy:“ What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty?Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me! O LORD, deliver me!”Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy.

You will sing as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival. You will be happy like one who plays a flute as he goes to the mountain of the LORD, the Rock who shelters Israel.The LORD will give a mighty shout and intervene in power, with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.

“ Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast in my behalf. Don’t eat and don’t drink for three days, night or day. My female attendants and I will also fast in the same way. Afterward I will go to the king, even though it violates the law. If I perish, I perish!”

In the darkness a light shines for the godly, for each one who is merciful, compassionate, and just.

those whom the LORD has ransomed will return that way. They will enter Zion with a happy shout. Unending joy will crown them, happiness and joy will overwhelm them; grief and suffering will disappear.

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness; they do not know what causes them to stumble.

All of this happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. They then rested on the fourteenth day and made it a day for banqueting and happiness.
