Esther 1:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ “If it please the king, let a royal decree proceed from him; and let it be written among the statutes of Persia and Media. And let it not be transgressed that Vashti come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to someone who is better than she.

²⁰ “And when the decree of the king, which shall be made, shall be published throughout all his kingdom (though it be great), all the women shall give their husbands honor, both great and small.”

²¹ And this saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
