10.71.9

i̱me ye nārvāṅ na pa̱raś cara̍nti̱ na brā̍hma̱ṇāso̱ na su̱teka̍rāsaḥ |
ta e̱te vāca̍m abhi̱padya̍ pā̱payā̍ si̱rīs tantra̍ṁ tanvate̱ apra̍jajñayaḥ ||

Those men who step not back and move not forward, nor Brahmans nor preparers of libations, Having attained to Vâk in sinful fashion spin out their thread in ignorance like spinsters.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
