They cut through the outer skin, the inner skin, the flesh, sinews, and bones, until they reach the marrow and stay pressing there.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, balavā puriso daḷhāya vāḷarajjuyā1 jaṅghaṁ veṭhetvā ghaṁseyya. Sā chaviṁ chindeyya, chaviṁ chetvā cammaṁ chindeyya, cammaṁ chetvā maṁsaṁ chindeyya, maṁsaṁ chetvā nhāruṁ chindeyya, nhāruṁ chetvā aṭṭhiṁ chindeyya, aṭṭhiṁ chetvā aṭṭhimiñjaṁ āhacca tiṭṭheyya.
Suppose a strong man was to twist a tough horse-hair rope around your shin and tighten it. It would cut through the outer skin, the inner skin, the flesh, sinews, and bones, until it reached the marrow and stayed pressing there.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, लाभसक्कारसिलोको छविं छिन्दति, छविं छेत्वा चम्मं छिन्दति, चम्मं छेत्वा मंसं छिन्दति, मंसं छेत्वा न्हारुं छिन्दति, न्हारुं छेत्वा अट्ठिं छिन्दति, अट्ठिं छेत्वा अट्ठिमिञ्जं आहच्च तिट्ठति।

In the same way, possessions, honor, and popularity cut through the outer skin, the inner skin, the flesh, sinews, and bones, until they reach the marrow and stay pressing there.
एवं दारुणो खो, भिक्खवे, लाभसक्कारसिलोको …पे… एवञ्हि वो, भिक्खवे, सिक्खितब्बन्”ति।
Evaṁ dāruṇo kho, bhikkhave, lābhasakkārasiloko …pe… evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.
So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”
