And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, (d) but shalt surely fall before him.
(d) Thus God sometimes puts in the mouth of the very wicked to speak that thing which he has decreed shall come to pass.
