21. Dread of Sinful Deeds





  1. Wicked men do not fear, but worthy men dread,
    the arrogance of sinful deeds.

  2. From evil springs forth more evil.
    Hence evil is to be feared even more than fire.

  3. To commit no wrong, even against one's enemies,
    is said to be supreme wisdom.

  4. Only the forgetful plot another's ruin; others remember
    that virtue itself devises every plotter's downfall.

  5. Do not commit wrongful deeds, claiming to be poor.
    Such deeds only cause one to be poorer still

  6. Let one who hopes for freedom from affliction's pain
    avoid inflicting harm on others.

  7. One can escape from hate-filled enemies,
    but his own hateful acts will pursue and destroy him.

  8. As a man's shadow follows his footsteps wherever he goes,
    even so will destruction pursue those who commit sinful deeds.

  9. If a man feels any fond affection for himself,
    let him not indulge in immoral deeds, however trifling.

  10. If men neither deviate from right nor act wrongly,
    they will be defended against destruction.
