1 Samuel 8:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁶ He will take your male and female slaves, and the best of your cattle^[a] and donkeys, and put them to his work. ¹⁷ He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. ¹⁸ And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord will not answer you in that day.’
