But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.
And they said to him, “If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them, and speak good words to them when you answer them, then they will be your servants for ever.”
And he said to them, “What do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me, ‘Lighten the yoke that your father put upon us’?”
and you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,
would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof,
Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future.
Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
