13 And the king answered the people harshly, and he rejected the counsel of the elders that they had counseled him. 14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made heavy your⁺ yoke, and I will add to your⁺ yoke. My father scourged you⁺ with whips, and I will scourge you⁺ with scorpions.” 15 And the king did not listen to the people, for the turning was from YHWH, that He might fulfill His word that YHWH had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat. 1 Kings 12:13-15, Berean Literal Bible.
