2 Chronicles 10:9-11

The Voice

Rehoboam: ⁹ How do you think I should answer these people’s request that I reduce the amount of work my father required of them?

Rehoboam’s Friends: ¹⁰ Tell those who want a reduced workload, “I am stronger and more virile than my father ever was! ¹¹ You will long for my father’s leniency. He made you work hard, but I will make you work even harder. He disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with the sting of scorpions.”
