Queen Vashti’s Refusal
10On the seventh day, awhen the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, bHarbona, cBigtha and Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, 11to bring Queen Vashti before the king with dher royal crown, ▼▼Or headdress
in order to show the peoples and the princes her beauty, for she was lovely to look at. 12But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command delivered by the eunuchs. At this the king became enraged, and his anger burned within him. Isaiah 3:16-26

and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
htinkling with their feet,

and instead of a rbelt, a rope;
and instead of swell-set hair, tbaldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a uskirt of sackcloth;
and vbranding instead of beauty.
25Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26And wher gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall xsit on the ground.
Daniel 5:2
