Yassa accantadussilyaṃ,
māluvā sālamivotthataṃ;
Karoti so tathattānaṃ,
yathā naṃ icchatī diso.

He whose wickedness is very great brings himself down to that state where his enemy wishes him to be, as a creeper does with the tree which it surrounds.

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