Ester 3:4

4 Sucedeu, pois, que, dizendo-lhe eles isto, dia após dia, e não lhes dando ele ouvidos, o fizeram saber a Hamã, para ver se as palavras de Mordecai se manteriam de pé, porque ele lhes tinha declarado que era judeu.

4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai's behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.
