2 Chronicles 10:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “This is what you should say to the people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy. You make it light for us.’ This is what you should say to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.^{[a] 11} My father imposed a heavy yoke on you. I will add to your yoke. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.’”^[b]

¹² So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed: “Come back to me on the third day.”
