1 Kings 12:8-11

8But he forsook the adviceH6098 of the oldH2205 menH2205 which they had given him, and consultedH3289 with the youngH3206 menH2205, who had grownH1431 up with him, that stoodH5975 before him.

9And he saidH559 to them, What advice giveH5414 ye that we may returnH7725 answer to this peopleH5971 who have spokenH1696 to me sayingH559, LightenH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 putH5414 upon us?

10And the youngH3206 men that had grownH1431 up with him spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, ThusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 to this peopleH5971 that have spokenH1696 to thee sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, and lightenH7043 thou it for us, — thusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 to them: My littleH6995 [fingerH6995] is thicker than my father's loinsH4975;

11and whereas my fatherH1 laid a heavyH3515 yokeH5923 upon you, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastised you with whipsH7752, but I will chastise you with scorpionsH6137.
