Verse 246 & 247
One who destroys life, utters lies, takes what is not given, goes to another man’s wife, and is addicted to intoxicating drinks—such a man digs up his own root even in this world.
Verse 248
Know this, O good man: evil things are difficult to control. Let not greed and wickedness drag you to protracted misery.
(Translated by Acharya Buddharakkhita)
