Esther 1:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ The garden had hangings of white and blue linen, fastened with cords of white linen and purple material to silver rings on marble pillars. Gold and silver couches were on the pavement, which was of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl, and other costly stones. ⁷ Wine was served in golden goblets, each different from one another, and the royal wine was abundant, in keeping with the king’s beneficence. ⁸ By the order of the king, there were no limits on the drinks. For he instructed all the wine stewards to give everyone whatever was requested.
