2 Chronicles 10:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ And he said to them, What answer do you advise that we give to the demand of [these] people, Make the yoke your father put upon us lighter?

¹⁰ The young men who were brought up with him said to him, Tell the people who said to you, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter: My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.

¹¹ For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
