Esther 1:16-18

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.
