Esther 1:16-18

16And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

17For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

18And this day shall the princesses of Persia and Media which have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king’s princes, So shall there arise much contempt and wrath.
