Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.	When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.	Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth.
