Esther 1:16-20 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes… It is the punishment of despots to be surrounded by flatterers, and the words of counsellors are but the dicta of their whims and conceits. (T. McEwan.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. |
