So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke.
My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
