Esther 1:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ When you issue your decree, your whole kingdom, great as it is, will hear it. Then all the wives will honor their husbands, regardless of their status.”

²¹ The king and his officials approved of this, and so the king did as Memucan suggested. ²² He sent official documents to all the king’s provinces, to each province in its own script and to the people in each province in their own language: “Let every husband be the ruler in his own house and speak with authority.”
