Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 1 of Esther. The advisers interpret Vashti's refusal as a threat to domestic and social order. Memucan proposes that her conduct be turned into a legal precedent to prevent other women from challenging their husbands. The episode shows how a personal dispute can become a matter of imperial policy when authority seeks to publicly protect its prestige.

So werden nun die Fürstinnen in Persien und Medien auch so sagen zu allen Fürsten des Königs, wenn sie solche Tat der Königin hören; so wird sich Verachtens und Zorn genug erheben.
Y entonces dirán esto las señoras de Persia y de Media que oyeren el hecho de la reina, a todos los príncipes del rey: y habrá mucho menosprecio y enojo.
Hoy mismo las damas de Persia y Media que hayan oído lo que hizo la reina dirán lo mismo a todos los jefes del rey, y habrá desprecio y enojo en abundancia.
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.
E fin da questo giorno le dame di Persia e di Media che avranno intese le parole della regina, ardiranno parlare a’ principi del re; e vi sarà troppo grande sprezzo ed indegnazione.
E neste mesmo dia as senhoras da Pérsia e da Média ouvindo o que fez a rainha, dirão o mesmo a todos os príncipes do rei; e assim haverá muito desprezo e indignação.
今日 波斯 和 瑪代 的眾夫人聽見王后這事,必向王所有的官長照樣說,如此必造成無數的藐視和憤怒。
