1 Because of need, many have sinned. And whoever seeks to be enriched, averts his eye.
2 Like a post fixed in the middle of adjoining stones, so also will sin become wedged between selling and buying.
3 Sin will be crushed with the one who sins.
4 If you do not hold yourself steadfastly to the fear of the Lord, your house will be quickly overthrown.
5 Just as the dust remains when one shakes a sieve, so will the doubt of a man remain in his thoughts.
6 The furnace tests the potter's vessels, and the trial of the tribulation tests just men.
