Additions to Esther

Additions to Esther 3:7

ἀλλ᾿ ἐποίησα τοῦτο, ἵνα μὴ θῶ δόξαν ἀνθρώπου ὑπεράνω δόξης Θεοῦ, καὶ οὐ προσκυνήσω οὐδένα, πλὴν σοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου μου καὶ οὐ ποιήσω αὐτὰ ἐν ὑπερηφανίᾳ.
King James Version (KJV)

But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of man above the glory of God: neither will I worship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride.

Modern English

"But I did this so that I would not put the glory of a man above the glory of God; I will worship no one but you, my Lord, and I will not do it out of pride."
