Esther 5:9
“Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.”
KJV
Read in Esther 5Meaning
Haman's satisfaction collapses because one man still refuses to honor him. The contrast reveals how fragile his pride is: immense privilege cannot satisfy him while Mordecai remains outside his control.
