2 Chronicles 10:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, “Come again to me on the third day.”

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

¹⁴ and answered them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions!”
