2 Chronicles 10:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had ^[a]directed, saying, “Return to me on the third day.” ¹³ The king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the elders. ¹⁴ He spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “^[b]My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”
