They made their hearts as hard as stone so they wouldn’t accept the teaching and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his spirit through the earlier prophets. Great was the anger of the Lord of hosts:
Esther 1:6
There were white and violet cotton curtains fastened to silver rings and pillars of marble with cords of fine purple wool and linen. The couches were of gold and silver placed upon a mosaic pavement of alabaster, white marble, mother-of-pearl, and dark stone.
Esther 4:4
When Esther’s maids and attendants told her about Mordecai’s behaviour, she was greatly troubled. She sent garments for Mordecai to put on, so that he could take off his sack-cloth, but he would not accept them.
Psalms 6:9
the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.
Psalms 7:9
Put an end to the wrong of the wicked, protect the righteous. Searcher of hearts and minds, righteous God.
Psalms 10:11
The wicked say in their hearts that God has forgotten, has hidden his face, will see nothing.
