Howbeit Aman the son of Amadathus the Agagite, who was in great honour with the king, sought to molest Mardocheus and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.

Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout the world there was scattered a certain malicious people, that had laws contrary to all nations, and continually despised the commandments of kings, so as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably intended by us cannot go forward.

Seeing then we understand that this people alone is continually in opposition unto all men, differing in the strange manner of their laws, and evil affected to our state, working all the mischief they can that our kingdom may not be firmly established:

And now, O Lord God and King, spare thy people: for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought; yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance, that hath been thine from the beginning.

From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family that thou, O Lord, tookest Israel from among all people, and our fathers from all their predecessors, for a perpetual inheritance, and thou hast performed whatsoever thou didst promise them.

For Almighty God hath turned to joy unto them the day, wherein the chosen people should have perished.

They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.

If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.

Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.

And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.

Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:

Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels’ food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and agreeing to every taste.

So of thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.

For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.

And that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

Wherethrough all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.

For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.

A wise judge will instruct his people; and the government of a prudent man is well ordered.

As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein.

For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion:

Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.

In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.

And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.

Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people.

Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.

Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.

Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.

O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.

Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:

O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.

A wise man instructeth his people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not.

Abraham was a great father of many people: in glory was there none like unto him;

By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.

An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.

And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;

Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.

Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of Goliath?

For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.

For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband’s garden to walk.

And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;

And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim’s wife. And so they sent.

Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.

Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?

Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.
