The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: chastise you with scorpions.
CH2 10:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third
day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
CH2 10:13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook
the counsel of the old men,
CH2 10:14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying,
My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father
chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
CH2 10:15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was
of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand
of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
