1 Kings 12:8-11

8But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, which they had givenH3289 him, and consultedH3289 with the young menH3206 that had grown upH1431 with him, and who stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him:

9And he saidH559 to them, What counsel giveH3289 ye that we mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighterH7043?

10And the young menH3206 that had grown upH1431 with him spokeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou speakH559 to this peopleH5971 who spokeH1696 to thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it lighterH7043 to us; thus shalt thou sayH1696 to them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father’sH1 loinsH4975.

11And now though my fatherH1 burdenedH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 hath chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
