Greek Esther 1:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹ If therefore it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree, inscribed in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians so that it may not be altered, that the queen may no longer come into his presence; but let the king give her royal rank to a woman better than she. ²⁰ Let whatever law the king enacts be proclaimed in his kingdom, and thus all women will give honour to their husbands, rich and poor alike.’ ²¹ This speech pleased the king and the governors, and the king did as Muchaeus had recommended.
