Esther 1:18-20

American Standard Version

¹⁸ And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen ^[a]say the like unto all the king’s princes. So will there arise ^[b]much contempt and wrath. ¹⁹ If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, ^[c]that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate ^[d]unto another that is better than she. ²⁰ And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.
