Queen Vashti's Refusal
10 On the seventh day, (A)when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, (B)Harbona, (C)Bigtha and Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, 11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king with (D)her royal crown,[a] in order to show the peoples and the princes her beauty, for she was lovely to look at. 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs.

Isaiah 3:16-26
English Standard Version
16 The Lord said:
(A)Because (B)the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
(C)tinkling with their feet,
17 therefore the Lord (D)will strike with a scab
the heads of (E)the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away (F)the finery of the anklets, the (G)headbands, and the (H)crescents; 19 the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves; 20 the (I)headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 21 the signet rings and (J)nose rings; 22 the (K)festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; 23 the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24 Instead of (L)perfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a (M)belt, a rope;
and instead of (N)well-set hair, (O)baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a (P)skirt of sackcloth;
and (Q)branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26 And (R)her gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall (S)sit on the ground.
