Gotta serve somebody

"you have delivered us into the hand of our [(ἡμῶν)] enemies, because [(ἀνθ᾽)] we honored their [(αὐτῶν)] gods.  You are righteous, O Lord!"

     Esther C:17-18 (Old Greek) =4:17n, NETS, italics mine.  C:17-18 (21) (Alpha) =4.17n, NETS:  "you delivered us into the hands of our enemies if we honored their gods.  You are righteous, O Lord!"  14:6-7, RSV:  "thou hast given us into the hands of our enemies, because we glorified their gods."  (The NETS follows the Göttingen edition, which see for "if".)
