2 Chronicles 10:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

⁹ And he said unto them, What do you counsel us to reply to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?

¹⁰ Then the young men that were brought up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
