2.22
佛告大王:「爾時長者婦,今王女金剛是;五百侍女,今度勝等五百伎女是。罪福追人久無不彰,善惡隨人如影隨形。」
“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."
