'Smiting' in the Bible
From the sole of the foot -- unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod is over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.
He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!
And Jehovah hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And they have turned back unto Jehovah, And He hath been entreated of them, And hath healed them.
As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting.
