8But he forsook the counselH6098 of the oldH2205 menH2205 which they had given him, and took counselH6098 with the youngH3206 menH2205 that were grownH1431 up with him, that stoodH5975 before him. 9And he saidH559 unto them, What counselH3289 giveH5414 ye, that we may returnH7725 answer to this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH5414 the yokeH5923 that thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighter? 10And the youngH3206 men that were grownH1431 up with him spake unto him, sayingH559, ThusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto this peopleH5971 that spake unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but makeH1431 thou it lighter unto us; thusH3541 shalt thou speakH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 fingerH6995 is thicker than my father’sH1 loinsH4975. 11And nowH6258 whereas my fatherH1 did lade you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastised you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137.
