יֶֽהֶלְמֵֽנִי־צַדִּ֨יק ׀ חֶ֡סֶד וְֽיוֹכִיחֵ֗נִי שֶׁ֣מֶן רֹ֭אשׁ אַל־יָנִ֣י רֹאשִׁ֑י כִּי־ע֥וֹד וּ֝תְפִלָּתִ֗י בְּרָעוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
Biarlah orang benar memukul aku, sebab itu suatu kasih, dan biarlah ia menegur aku; itu bagaikan minyak terbaik bagi kepala, janganlah kepalaku menolaknya; sebab selama aku masih ada, doaku tetap melawan kejahatan-kejahatan mereka.
Duties of the Heart
(2) When meeting those who are wise in knowledge of G-d and of His torah, or pious men who are near to G-d, as written: "Let the righteous smite me in kindness and reprove me" (Tehilim 141:5), and "The evil bow before the good" (Mishlei 14:19).
Duties of the Heart
There are two other emotions: courage and timidity. The right occasion for showing courage is when you meet the enemies of the L-ord, to wage war against them. [Courage is also in place,] to endure all distress and all trials in fulfilling the will of the exalted Creator and of His saints, as it is said: "Yea, for Your sake are we killed, all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter" (Ps. 44:23). Further, "Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me" (Ps. 141:5).
