Esther 1:17-20

For [this] deed
<01697>
of the queen
<04436>
shall come abroad
<03318> (8799)
unto all women
<0802>_,
so that they shall despise
<0959> (8687)
their husbands
<01167>
in their eyes
<05869>_,
when it shall be reported
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>
commanded
<0559> (8804)
Vashti
<02060>
the queen
<04436>
to be brought in
<0935> (8687)
before
<06440>
him, but she came
<0935> (8804)
not.
[Likewise] shall the ladies
<08282>
of Persia
<06539>
and Media
<04074>
say
<0559> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto all the king's
<04428>
princes
<08269>_,
which have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the deed
<01697>
of the queen
<04436>_.
Thus [shall there arise] too much
<01767>
contempt
<0963>
and wrath
<07110>_.
If it please
<02895> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
let there go
<03318> (8799)
a royal
<04438>
commandment
<01697>
from him
<06440>_,
and let it be written
<03789> (8735)
among the laws
<01881>
of the Persians
<06539>
and the Medes
<04074>_,
that it be not altered
<05674> (8799)_,
That Vashti
<02060>
come
<0935> (8799)
no more before
<06440>
king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>_;
and let the king
<04428>
give
<05414> (8799)
her royal estate
<04438>
unto another
<07468>
that is better
<02896>
than she. {If it...: Heb. If it be good with the king} {unto...: Heb. unto her companion} {from him: Heb. from before him} {be not...: Heb. pass not away}
And when the king's
<04428>
decree
<06599>
which he shall make
<06213> (8799)
shall be published
<08085> (8738)
throughout all his empire
<04438>_,
(for it is great
<07227>,)
all the wives
<0802>
shall give
<05414> (8799)
to their husbands
<01167>
honour
<03366>_,
both to great
<01419>
and small
<06996>_.
