"And the Egyptiansª made² °¹ the childrenª of Israelª to serveª ° with rigour:ª ... And they made² °¹ their livesª bitterª ° with hardª bondage,ª in morter,ª and in brick,ª and in all manner¹ of serviceª in the field:ª ¹ all¹ their service,ª wherein¹ they made them serve,ª ° [was] with rigour.ª" {Exd 1:13-14} + "And Pharaohª said,ª ° Behold,¹ the peopleª of the landª now¹ [are] many,ª and ye make them restª °¹ from their burdens.ª ¹ ... Let there more work² be laidª °¹ upon¹ the men,² ¹ that they may labourª ° therein; and let them not¹ regardª ° vainª words.ª" {Exd 5:5-9} + "Go² °¹ therefore now,¹ [and] work;ª ° for there shall no¹ strawª be givenª ° you, yet shall ye deliverª ° the taleª of bricks.ª" {Exd 5:18} + "And ye shall cry outª ° in that¹ dayª becauseª ¹ of your kingª which¹ ye shall have chosenª ° you; and the LORDª will not¹ hearª ° you in that¹ day.ª" {1Sm 8:18} + "Then Asaª was wrothª ° with¹ the seer,² °¹ and putª ° him in a prisonª house;ª for¹ [he was] in a rageª with¹ him because of¹ this¹ [thing]. And Asaª oppressedª ° [some] of¹ the peopleª the same¹ time.ª" {2Ch 16:10} + "[Is] not¹ this¹ the fastª that I have chosen?ª ° to looseª ° the bandsª of wickedness,ª to undoª ° the heavyª burdens,ª and to let the oppressedª ° goª ° free,ª and that ye breakª ° every¹ yoke?ª" {Isa 58:6} + "But the nationsª that¹ bringª °¹ their neckª under the yokeª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and serveª ° him, those will I let remain¹ still² ° in¹ their own land,ª saithª ° the LORD;ª and they shall tillª ° it, and dwellª ° therein." {Jer 27:11} + "Goª ° and tellª °¹ Hananiah,ª saying,ª ° Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD;ª Thou hast brokenª ° the yokesª of wood;ª but thou shalt makeª ° for¹ them yokesª of iron.ª ...

but I will chastise:
Should you rebel or become disaffected, my father's whip shall be a scorpion in my hand. His was chastisement, mine shall be punishment. Celsius and Hiller conjecture that âkrabbim denotes a thorny kind of shrub, whose prickles are of a venomous nature, called by the Arabs scorpion thorns, from the exquisite pain which they inflict. But the Chaldee renders it margenin, and the Syriac moragyai, i.e., μαραγναι, scourges; and in the parallel place of Chronicles the Arabic has saut, a scourge. Isidore, and after him Calmet and others, assert that the scorpion was a sort of severe whip, the lashes of which were armed with knots or points that sunk into and tore the flesh.

scorpions:
"And spakeª ° to¹ them after the counselª of the young men,ª saying,ª ° My fatherª made² °¹ your yokeª heavy,ª ° and I¹ will addª ° to¹ your yoke:ª my fatherª [also] chastisedª ° you with whips,ª but I¹ will chastiseª ° you with scorpions.ª" {1Kg 12:14} + "And thou,¹ sonª of man,ª be not afraidª °¹ of¹ them, neither¹ be afraidª ° of their words,ª ¹ though¹ briersª and thornsª [be] with¹ thee, and thou¹ dost dwellª ° among¹ scorpions:ª be not afraidª °¹ of their words,ª ¹ nor¹ be dismayedª ° at their looks,ª ¹ though¹ they¹ [be] a rebelliousª house.ª" {Ezk 2:6} + "Andª there cameª ° out ofª the¹ smokeª locustsª uponª the¹ earth:ª andª unto themª was givenª ° power,ª asª the¹ scorpionsª of the¹ earthª haveª ° power.ª ... Andª they hadª ° tailsª like² unto¹ scorpions,ª andª there wereª ° stingsª inª their² ¹ tails:ª andª their² ¹ powerª [was] to hurtª ° menª fiveª months.ª" {Rev 9:3-10}
