Esther 1:19 in Context — Esther 1
17 Car l’action de la reine parviendra à la connaissance de toutes les femmes, et les portera à mépriser leurs maris; elles diront: Le roi Assuérus avait ordonné qu’on amenât en sa présence la reine Vasthi, et elle n’y est pas allée.
18 Et dès ce jour les princesses de Perse et de Médie qui auront appris l’action de la reine la rapporteront à tous les chefs du roi; de là beaucoup de mépris et de colère.
19 Si le roi le trouve bon, qu’on publie de sa part et qu’on inscrive parmi les lois des Perses et des Mèdes, avec défense de la transgresser, une ordonnance royale d’après laquelle Vasthi ne paraîtra plus devant le roi Assuérus et le roi donnera la dignité de reine à une autre qui soit meilleure qu’elle.
20 L’édit du roi sera connu dans tout son royaume, quelque grand qu’il soit, et toutes les femmes rendront honneur à leurs maris, depuis le plus grand jusqu’au plus petit.
21 Cet avis fut approuvé du roi et des princes, et le roi agit d’après la parole de Memucan.
