George Leo Haydock, on Esth 6:13

“And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.”

“Wise men. Probably the magi, who concluded, from the first miscarriage, that the undertaking would prove abortive, (Calmet) as they were also informed of God’s protection given repeatedly to the Jews. Septuagint, “because the living God is with him.” (Chaldean) They might have heard of the fate of Sennacherib and of Holofernes, (Calmet) or of God’s promises, (Genesis xiii., and xv.) unless they were guided by human prudence. (Worthington)”
