Esther 1:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ When this decree is published throughout your great kingdom, husbands everywhere, whatever their rank, will be respected by their wives!”

²¹ The king and all his aides thought this made good sense, so he followed Memucan’s counsel ²² and sent letters to all of his provinces, in all the local languages, stressing that every man should rule his home and should assert his authority.
