H6662Let the righteousH1986smite[H8799] H2617me; it shall be a kindnessH3198: and let him reprove[H8686] H7218me; it shall be an excellentH8081oilH5106, which shall not break[H8686] H7218my headH8605: for yet my prayerH7451also shall be in their calamities.

H539Faithful[H8737] H6482are the woundsH157of a friend[H8802] H5390; but the kissesH8130of an enemy[H8802] H6280are deceitful[H8737] .
H1606A reproofH5181entereth[H8799] H995more into a wise man[H8688] H3967than an hundredH5221stripes[H8687] H3684into a fool.

H4687For the commandmentH5216is a lampH8451; and the lawH216is lightH8433; and reproofsH4148of instructionH1870are the wayH2416of life:
