Sirach 26:28 – 27:3

Two sorts of callings have appeared to me hard and dangerous: a merchant is hardly free from negligence: and a huckster shall not be justified from the sins of the lips. 1Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. 2As a stake sticketh fast in the midst of the joining of stones, so also in the midst of selling and buying, sin shall stick fast. 3Sin shall be destroyed with the sinner.
