Esta 8:17

Katika kila jimbo na katika kila jiji, popote waraka wa mfalme ulipofika, kulikuwepo furaha na shangwe miongoni mwa Wayahudi, pamoja na karamu na kushangilia. Na watu wengi wa mataifa mengine wakajifanya Wayahudi kwa sababu ya kuwahofu Wayahudi.

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
