Psalms 119:100 Cross References - ISV

¹⁰⁰ I have more common sense than the elders, for I observe your precepts.

⁷ They advised him, “If today you are a servant, you will serve this people by answering them and speaking kindly to them. Then they will serve you forever.”

Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him and who worked for him. ⁹ As a result, he asked them, “What’s your advice so that we can give an answer to these people who have asked me, ‘Please lighten the burden that your father put on us.’?”

My father disciplined you with whips, but I’m going to discipline you with scorpions!’”

He told them “My father burdened you heavily, but I will add to that burden. If my father disciplined you with whips, I’m going to discipline you with scorpions!”
