    is close kin to a vandal.^(A)

⁶ But it is heartache and sorrow when a wife has a rival,
    and a tongue-lashing makes it known to all.^(A)

²⁹ A merchant can hardly keep from wrongdoing,
    nor is a tradesman innocent of sin.^(A)

² As a stake is driven firmly into a fissure between stones,
    so sin is wedged in between selling and buying.^(A)
