yāvad eva anatthāya ñattaṃ bālassa jāyati /
hanti bālassa sukkaṃsaṃ muddham assa vipātayaṃ. //

And when the evil deed, after it has become known, brings sorrow to the fool, then it destroys his bright lot, nay, it cleaves his head.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
