smitten

Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.

—Bible (Apocrypha)

   Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

—Bible (Old Testament)

And the L opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam,What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

—Bible (Old Testament)
