1 Kings 12:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had appointed.

¹³ And the king answered the people roughly and forsook the counsel the old men had given him,

¹⁴ And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; he chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
