2 Chronicles 10:12-14

Darby Translation

¹² And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.

¹³ And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,

¹⁴ and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but *I* [will chastise you] with scorpions.
