Esther 1:16-20

16Then Memucan said before the king and the officials, “Queen Vashti has done wrong not against the king alone, but against all the officials and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.”

17For the queen’s matter will go out to all women, causing them to despise their husbands in their eyes, when they say, ‘King Ahasuerus said to bring Queen Vashti before him, but she did not come.’

18And today the noblewomen of Persia and Media who have heard the queen’s word will say the same to all the king’s officials, and there will be enough contempt and wrath.

19If it seems good to the king, let a royal decree go out from before him and be written among the laws of Persia and Media, so that it may not be revoked: that Vashti is not to come before King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another woman better than she.

20And when the king’s decree that he makes is heard throughout all his kingdom—for it is vast—all the women will give honor to their husbands, from great to small.
