Pāpopi passati bhadraṃ,
Yāva pāpaṃ na paccati;
Yadā ca paccati pāpaṃ,
Atha pāpo pāpāni passati.

Even an evil-doer sees happiness as long as his evil deed has not ripened; but when his evil deed has ripened, then does the evil-doer see evil.

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