Esther 1:16-20

  16 H4462 And Memucan H559 answered [H8799]   H6440 before H4428 the king H8269 and the princes H2060 , Vashti H4436 the queen H5753 hath not done wrong [H8804]   H4428 to the king H8269 only, but also to all the princes H5971 , and to all the people H4082 that are in all the provinces H4428 of the king H325 Ahasuerus.

  17 H1697 For this deed H4436 of the queen H3318 shall come abroad [H8799]   H802 unto all women H959 , so that they shall despise [H8687]   H1167 their husbands H5869 in their eyes H559 , when it shall be reported [H8800]   H4428 , The king H325 Ahasuerus H559 commanded [H8804]   H2060 Vashti H4436 the queen H935 to be brought in [H8687]   H6440 before H935 him, but she came [H8804]   not.

  18 H8282 Likewise shall the ladies H6539 of Persia H4074 and Media H559 say [H8799]   H3117 this day H4428 unto all the king's H8269 princes H8085 , which have heard [H8804]   H1697 of the deed H4436 of the queen H1767 . Thus shall there arise too much H963 contempt H7110 and wrath.

  19 H2895 If it please [H8804]   H4428 the king H3318 , let there go [H8799]   H4438 a royal H1697 commandment H6440 from him H3789 , and let it be written [H8735]   H1881 among the laws H6539 of the Persians H4074 and the Medes H5674 , that it be not altered [H8799]   H2060 , That Vashti H935 come [H8799]   H6440 no more before H4428 king H325 Ahasuerus H4428 ; and let the king H5414 give [H8799]   H4438 her royal estate H7468 unto another H2896 that is better than she.

  20 H4428 And when the king's H6599 decree H6213 which he shall make [H8799]   H8085 shall be published [H8738]   H4438 throughout all his empire H7227 , (for it is great H802 ,) all the wives H5414 shall give [H8799]   H1167 to their husbands H3366 honour H1419 , both to great H6996 and small.
