KJV - 1 Kings 12:14
And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
He talked to them based on the advice of the young men, saying, "My dad made your work load heavy, and I'll make it even heavier. My dad also punished you with whips, but I'll punish you with scorpions."
