⁵ Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
    let him rebuke me^(A)—that is oil on my head.^(B)
My head will not refuse it,
    for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

⁶ Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,^(C)
    and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
⁷ They will say, “As one plows^(D) and breaks up the earth,^(E)
    so our bones have been scattered at the mouth^(F) of the grave.”
