18 This very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say to all the king’s officials that they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath.
19 If it pleases the king, let a royal1 decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will anot be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.
20 When the king’s decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will ahonor their husbands, both great and small.”
21 And the reply pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
22 Then he sent letters to all the king’s provinces, ato each province in its own script, and to every people in their own language, that each man should bbe master in his own house, and speak in the language of his own people.
