2 Chronicles 10:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had specified when he said, “Come back in three days.” ¹³ The king then answered the people harshly. He ignored the elders’ advice, ¹⁴ and instead followed the young people’s advice. He said, “My father made your workload heavy, but I’ll make it even heavier; my father disciplined you with whips, but I’ll do it with scorpions!”
