The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: KI1 12:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had
given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him,
and which stood before him:
KI1 12:9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer
this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy
father did put upon us lighter?
KI1 12:10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him,
saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee,
saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto
us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker
than my father's loins.
