Verse from the Khuddaka
Fresh milk does not immediately
turn into curd,
and evil acts do not immediately
show their fruits;
however, fools do suffer
from the consequences
of their foolishness
as they would be burned
by standing on coals hidden in ashes.
turn into curd,
and evil acts do not immediately
show their fruits;
however, fools do suffer

of their foolishness
as they would be burned
