SCRIPTURE

"And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say [the like] unto all the king`s princes. So [will there arise] much contempt and wrath." — Esther 1:18 (ASV)

Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day
to the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen ,
&c.] From now on they will give a like answer to their husbands, when they lay their commands upon them, as Vashti has to the king; they will tell them to their faces they will not obey their orders: thus there will arise too much contempt and wrath ;
there will be in wives a general contempt of their husbands, which will cause discord and strife, quarrels, wrath and anger; contempt on one part, wrath on the other, and contention between both.
