But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers.
The older counselors replied, “If you are willing to be a servant to these people today and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.”
“What is your advice?” he asked them. “How should I answer these people who want me to lighten the burdens imposed by my father?”
You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.
They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them.
Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.
To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.
