John Trapp on Esther 9:25

Verſe 25. But when Eſther came] Heb. when ſhe came. This was the ſubject of the Jewes diſcourſe upon thoſe dayes, which they ſpent not in idle chat, but in telling one another what great things the Lord had done for them: relating all the particulars. All honourable mention was then made of Eſther and Mordecai; neither was Hamans malice inſtanced without utmoſt deteſtation: [non-Latin text not transcribed] Memoria ejus ſicut vinum Libani, ſay the Jewes of thoſe they honour. Bud. Pand. Herod. l. 2. So true is that of Solomon, Prov. 10.7. The memory of the juſt is bleſſed, (or, is with praiſes, as the Septuagint there render it,) but the name of the wicked ſhall rot, as doth now the name of the Powder-plotters of Bonner, Gardiner, and other Popiſh Perſecutors.

Should return upon his own head] According to Pſal. 7.17. and haply not without alluſion to thoſe Piaculares & Obominales among the Grecians, which were certain condemned perſons, on whoſe heads they put the publick guilt, and then tumbled them into the ſea; or elſe to thoſe expiatory ſacrifices amongſt the Egyptians which were firſt curſed by them, and then caſt into the river, or ſold to the Grecian Merchants: in an apiſh imitation of the Hebrews ſcape-goat, and day of Atonement.
