Reference for Kiddushin 65:2

אמר מר יכול יהדרנו בממון ת"ל תקום והדרת מה קימה שאין בה חסרון כיס אף הידור שאין בו חסרון כיס וקימה לית בה חסרון כיס מי לא עסקינן דקא נקיב מרגניתא אדהכי והכי קאים מקמיה ובטיל ממלאכתו

Does it not refer [even] to him who is piercing pearls,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For stringing together.');"><sup>2</sup></span> and whilst he rises up before him he is disturbed from his work?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And piercing pearls (or perhaps diamond cutting) being highly paid work, this involves a monetary loss.');"><sup>3</sup></span> - But rising is compared to honouring: just as honouring involves no cessation of work,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Honouring implies to shew respect, speak with reverence, but not to cease from work.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
