          <english>[God] frustrated the plan of the nations, thwarted the intentions of the crafty. An evil man rose up against us, an arrogant branch of Amalek’s tree, haughty, rich, he dug his own pit; his hubris became his own snare. He was trapped in the trap he set for others; seeking to destroy, he was destroyed. Haman shared his ancestors’ hate, and stirred against children the hostility of brothers. He did not remember Saul’s act of mercy, his pity for Agag, through which a new enemy was born. The wicked planned to cut off the righteous, but the impure were defeated by the pure.</english>
