16And MemucanH4462 answeredH559 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269, VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 hath not done wrongH5753 to the kingH4428 only, but also to all the princesH8269, and to all the peopleH5971 that are in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.
17For this deedH1697 of the queenH4436 shall come abroadH3318 unto all womenH802, so that they shall despiseH959 their husbandsH1167 in their eyesH5869, when it shall be reportedH559, The kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 commandedH559 VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 to be brought inH935 beforeH6440 him, but she cameH935 not.
