Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
