he followed the advice of the young men and said,“ My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.”

Instead, he followed the advice of the young men. He said,“ My father put a heavy load on your shoulders. But I’ll make it even heavier. My father beat you with whips. But I’ll beat you with bigger whips.”

事情的终局强如事情的起头；存心忍耐的，胜过居心骄傲的。

那人是智慧是愚昧，谁能知道？他竟要管理我劳碌所得的，就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的。这也是虚空。

义人的思念是公平；恶人的计谋是诡诈。

你们心里若怀着苦毒的嫉妒和纷争，就不可自夸，也不可说谎话抵挡真道。这样的智慧不是从上头来的，乃是属地的，属情欲的，属鬼魔的。在何处有嫉妒、纷争，就在何处有扰乱和各样的坏事。惟独从上头来的智慧，先是清洁，后是和平，温良柔顺，满有怜悯，多结善果，没有偏见，没有假冒。并且使人和平的，是用和平所栽种的义果。你们中间的争战斗殴是从哪里来的呢？不是从你们百体中战斗之私欲来的吗？你们贪恋，还是得不着；你们杀害嫉妒，又斗殴争战，也不能得。你们得不着，是因为你们不求。

他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，像亚哈家一样；因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋，以致败坏。他听从亚哈家的计谋，同以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末去，与亚兰王哈薛争战；亚兰人打伤了约兰。

邦国啊，你的王若是孩童，你的群臣早晨宴乐，你就有祸了！

国中的总长、钦差、总督、谋士，和巡抚彼此商议，要立一条坚定的禁令，三十日内，不拘何人，若在王以外，或向神或向人求什么，就必扔在狮子坑中。

纷争的起头如水放开，所以，在争闹之先必当止息争竞。

那同他长大的少年人说：“这民对王说：‘你父亲使我们负重轭，求你使我们轻松些’；王要对他们如此说：‘我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗；我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”
