THE TROUBLE WITH VASHTI

Vashti’s heart was lifted up,

i.e., prideful because of her beauty.

An excessively high opinion

of herself clouded her judgement

and caused her to be stripped

of her title as queen, and divorced.

Instantly, the life and luxuries

she knew are gone in one fell swoop.

And she may have been banished

from the kingdom too.
