Bible Usage: prick sting.

Definition:

a point (centre) that is a sting (figuratively poison) or goad (figuratively divine impulse)

1. a sting, as that of bees, scorpions, locusts. Since animals wound by their sting and even cause death, Paul attributes death, personified as a sting, i.e. a deadly weapon

2. an iron goad, for urging on oxen, horses and other beasts of burden

a. hence the proverb, "to kick against the goad", i.e. to offer vain and perilous or ruinous resistance
