Esther 1:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Memucan answered for the others, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but every official and citizen of your empire. ¹⁷ For women everywhere will begin to disobey their husbands when they learn what Queen Vashti has done. ¹⁸ And before this day is out, the wife of every one of us officials throughout your empire will hear what the queen did and will start talking to us husbands the same way, and there will be contempt and anger throughout your realm.
