Talmud sur Esther 7:9

[The Rabbis] further laid down that it is also necessary to offer praise and thanksgiving [in the benediction] for the redemption and release.¹³From threatened destruction. Then one concludes: ‘Blessed art Thou, O Lord, God of vengeance, Who dost requite enemies according to their deeds, art a Shield to the righteous, and savest Thy people from the hands of their adversaries’. After that the righteous are lauded: ‘Blessed be Mordecai, blessed be Esther, blessed be all Israel’. Rab, however, declared that it is necessary to say, ‘Accursed be Haman and accursed be his sons’. R. Phinehas said: It is necessary to say, ‘Harbonah be remembered for good’.¹⁴He contributed to Haman’s downfall (cf. Esth. 7, 9). For the version now in use, cf. P.B., p. 277.
