14.66

“If furthermore there is someone / who delights in false speech, / this person in the present life receives / foul speech and an ugly complexion. / Though what they say may be true, / people do not believe or accept it. / Everyone increases in detesting them, / taking no joy in seeing them. / This is called the retribution / of evil karma in the present life. / Having abandoned this body, / they enter into hell / and undergo great suffering and pain, / hunger, thirst, heat, and torment. / This is called the retribution / of evil karma in a future life. / If they obtain a human body, / their mouth will be defective. / Though what they say may be true, / people do not believe or accept it; / those who see them take no pleasure. / Though they speak the true Dharma, / people take no pleasure in hearing it. / Because of the power of conditions / of this one evil person, / all external goods / and resources for livelihood will diminish.”
