One must not take either lower or upper millstones as security on a loan, for that is like taking a life itself as security.

Pick up millstones and grind flour! Remove your veil, strip off your skirt, expose your legs, cross the streams!

I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in these lands. I will put an end to the sound of people grinding meal. I will put an end to lamps shining in their houses.
