2 Chronicles 10:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.

¹¹ My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.

¹² So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
