28 Because two things my heart is grieved,

and for the third anger comes upon me:

a warrior who suffers for poverty,

men of understanding who are counted as garbage,

and one who turns back from righteousness to sin—

the master will prepare him for the sword!

29 It is difficult for a merchant to keep himself from wrong doing,

and for a retailer to be acquitted of sin.

27 Many have sinned for profit.

He who seeks to multiply wealth will turn his eye away.

2 As a nail will stick fast between the joinings of stones,

so sin will thrust itself in between buying and selling.

3 Unless a person holds on diligently to the fear of the master,

his house will be overthrown quickly.
