{Esther 1:16} And Memucan 4462 answered 559 z8799 before 6440 the king 4428 and the princes, 8269 Vashti 2060 the queen 4436 hath not x3808 done wrong 5753 z8804 to x5921 the king 4428 only, x905 but x3588 also to x5921 all x3605 the princes, 8269 and to x5921 all x3605 the people 5971 that x834 [are] in all x3605 the provinces 4082 of the king 4428 Ahasuerus. 325
Vashti:
This reasoning was inconsequent and false. Vashti had not generally disobeyed the king, therefore she could be no precedent for the general conduct of the Persian women. She disobeyed only in one particular; and this, to serve a purpose, Memucan draws into a general consequence, and the rest came into the conclusion, being either too intoxicated to be able to discern right from wrong, or too intent on reducing women to a state of vassalage, to neglect the present favourable opportunity.
done wrong:
"Andª when Paulª was now aboutª° to openª° [his] mouth,ª Gallioª saidª° untoª the¹ Jews,ª Ifª²² it¹¹ wereª° aª matter of wrongª orª wickedª lewdness,ª Oª [ye] Jews,ª reasonª² would² that I should bear²° with¹¹ you:ª" {Act 18:14} + "Thenª saidª° Paul,ª I standªª°° atª Caesar'sª judgment seat,ª whereª Iª oughtª° to be judged:ª° to the Jewsª have I done²° no² wrong,ª°¹ asªª thouª very well²¹ knowest.ª°" {Act 25:10} + "Nowª therefore²² there¹¹ isª° utterlyª a faultª amongª you,ª becauseª ye go²° to lawª¹ one with² another.ª¹ Whyª do ye²° notª ratherª take wrong?ª° whyª do ye²° notª ratherª [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?ª° ... Nay,ª yeª do wrong,ª° andª defraud,ª° andª thatª [your] brethren.ª" {1Co 6:7-8}
