1 Kings12:11
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with an heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke : my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions .
i. e. Make it heavier and stronger, both to punish your Petulancy, and to curb and restrain you from Seditious Attempts.
i. e. With such Whips as will Sting you like Scorpions: If you proceed in these courses, I will most severely punish you for it.
