Adam Clarke, on Esth 6:14
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 6:14 · Douay-Rheims
“As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.”
On this verse:
“Hasted to bring Haman - There was a dreadful banquet before him, of which he knew nothing: and he could have little appetite to enjoy that which he knew was prepared at the palace of Esther. One grand design of this history is, to show that he who lays a snare for the life of his neighbor, is most likely to fall into it himself: for, in the course of the Divine providence, men generally meet with those evils in life which they have been the means of inflicting on others: and this is exactly agreeable to the saying of our Lord: "With what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you withal."”
