1 Kings 12:8-11
8But he forsook the counselH6098 of the oldH2205 menH2205 whichH834 they had givenH3289 him, and tookH853 counselH6098 with the youngH3206 menH2205 that were grownH1431 upH5975 with him, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him.
9And he saidH559 unto them, WhatH4100 counselH3289 giveH5414 ye, that weH834 may returnH7725 answerH7725 to this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to meH413, sayingH559, MakeH5414 the yokeH5923 that thy fatherH1 didH4100 putH5414 uponH5921 usH5414 lighterH7043?
10And the youngH3206 menH5971 that were grownH1431 upH5921 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 lighterH7043 unto usH413; thusH3541 shalt thou speakH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 fingerH6995 is thickerH5666 thanH5921 my father’sH1 loinsH4975.
11And nowH6258 whereasH6258 my fatherH1 didH3254 lade youH5921 with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 chastisedH3256 youH5921 with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 youH5921 with scorpionsH6137.
