2 Chronicles 10:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ And the young men who had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus shall you answer the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter for us.’ Thus shall you say to them, ‘My least part shall be bigger than my father’s loins.

¹¹ ‘Now, whereas my father burdened you with a grievous yoke, I will increase your yoke more. My father chastised you with rods, but I will do so with scourges.’”

¹² Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, “Come back to me the third day.”
