Additions to Esther

Additions to Esther 5:7

σκοπεῖν δὲ ἔξεστιν, οὐ τοσοῦτον ἐκ τῶν παλαιοτέρων ὧν παρεδώκαμεν ἱστοριῶν, ὅσα ἐστὶ παρὰ πόδας ὑμᾶς ἐκζητοῦντας ἀνοσίως συντετελεσμένα τῇ τῶν ἀνάξια δυναστευόντων λοιμότητι,
King James Version (KJV)

Now ye may see this, as we have declared, not so much by ancient histories, as ye may, if ye search what hath been wickedly done of late through the pestilent behaviour of them that are unworthily placed in authority.

Modern English

"This can be seen, not so much from the ancient histories we have passed down, as from examining what lies right at your feet — the wicked deeds accomplished through the corrupt behavior of those unworthy of the power they hold."
