Esther 1:16-18

16And in the presence of the king and the other officials, Memucan said, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the officials and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

17For the queen’s conduct will 1become known to all the women so as to make their own husbands despicable in their sight, when they say, ‘King Ahasuerus 2commanded that Queen Vashti be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.’

18And this day the wives of the officials of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s conduct will talk about it to all the king’s officials, and there will be plenty of contempt and anger.
