Esther 1:19-20

19If it pleases the king, let a royal 1edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so 2that it cannot 3be repealed, that Vashti may not come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to 4another who is more worthy than she. 20When the king’s edict which he will make is heard throughout his kingdom, 5great as it is, then 6all women will give honor to their husbands, great and small.”
