2.21
「愚憃作惡，不能自解，殃追自焚，
罪成熾然。愚所望處，不謂適苦，
臨墮厄地，乃知不善。」
“The fool and his fellows doing evil are unable to deliver themselves. Misfortune follows them with its certain burning. Their evil deeds must result, when they are completed, in entire destruction. The fool, whilst in the flesh, recognises not the misery he is entailing on himself; but when he sinks into the place of perdition, then he knows his own folly."
