KJV - 1 Kings 12:11

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

And now, since my father burdened you with a heavy load, I will make it even heavier. He punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.
