Esther 1:13-19

13And the kingH4428 saidH559 to the wiseH2450 men who knewH3045 the timesH6256 (for soH3651 was the king's business [conducted] before all that knewH3045 lawH1881 and judgmentH1779;

14and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, TarshishH8659, Meres, Marsena, [and] MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, who sawH7200 the king's faceH6440, and who satH3427 firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438),

15What shall be done to the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 according to lawH1881, because she has not performed the word of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 by the chamberlains?

16Then saidH559 MemucanH4462 before the kingH4428 and the princesH8269, The queenH4436 VashtiH2060 has not done wrong to the kingH4428 onlyH905, but also to all the princesH8269, and to all the peoplesH5971 that are in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.

17For the act of the queenH4436 will comeH935 abroad to all womenH802, so as to render their husbandsH1167 contemptible in their eyesH5869, when they shall sayH559, The kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 commanded the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 to be broughtH935 in before him, and she cameH935 not!

18And the princesses of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074 who have heardH8085 of the queen's act, will sayH559 it this dayH3117 to all the king's princesH8269, and there will be contempt and anger enough.

19If it please the kingH4428, let a royal order goH3318 forthH3318 from him, and let it be writtenH3789 among the lawsH1881 of the Persians and the Medes, that it may not passH5674, That VashtiH2060 comeH935 no moreH4480 before kingH4428 AhasuerusH325; and let the kingH4428 giveH5414 her royal estate to another that is betterH2896 than she;
