WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[20] When the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small. [21] The saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: [22] for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.
