And the king became furious, and his anger burned within him.Esther 1:13Then the king consulted the wise men who knew the times, for it was customary for him to confer with the experts in law and justice.Esther 1:14His closest advisors were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had personal access to the king and ranked highest in the kingdom.Esther 1:15“According to law,” he asked, “what should be done with Queen Vashti, since she refused to obey the command of King Xerxes delivered by the eunuchs?”Esther 1:16And in the presence of the king and his princes, Memucan replied, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king, but all the princes and the peoples in all the provinces of King Xerxes.Esther 1:17For the conduct of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.’Esther 1:18This very day the noble women of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s conduct will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in much contempt and wrath.Esther 1:19So if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti shall never again enter the presence of King Xerxes, and that her royal position shall be given to a woman better than she.Esther 1:20The edict the king issues will be heard throughout his vast kingdom—and so all women, from the least to the greatest, will honor their husbands.”Esther 1:21The king and his princes were pleased with this counsel; so the king did as Memucan advised.Esther 1:22He sent letters to all the provinces of the kingdom, to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, proclaiming that every man should be master of his own household.Proverbs 5:15Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well.Proverbs 5:16Why should your springs flow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?Proverbs 5:17Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.Proverbs 5:18May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth:Proverbs 5:19A loving doe, a graceful fawn—may her breasts satisfy you always; may you be captivated by her love forever.Ecclesiastes 9:9Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days.
