Greek Esther 1:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ When the days of the wedding feast were over, the king held a six-day wine festival for everyone who remained in the city. They all met in the walled garden of the royal palace. ⁶ White linen and cotton curtains hung from shining white and red-purple ropes tied to gold and silver rings and marble posts. Gold and silver couches sat on a mosaic floor made of emerald, marble, and mother-of-pearl. ⁷ The cups were made of gold and silver. There was a miniature cup made of ruby, worth 1,710,000 pounds of silver.^[a] The king made sure there was plenty of the best wine, which he himself also drank.
