2 Chronicles 10:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.

¹⁴ And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.

¹⁵ And he condescended not to the people's requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
