Hesiod, Fr. 286

 

“If someone plants evils, he will harvest wicked profits.

If he suffers what he has done: that is straight justice.”

 

εἰ κακά τις σπείραι, κακὰ κέρδεά <κ’> ἀμήσειεν·

εἴ κε πάθοι, τά τ’ ἔρεξε, δίκη κ’ ἰθεῖα γένοιτο

Hesiod, fr. Fr. 286

 

“If someone sows wrongs, he will reap wicked profits.

If he suffers what he has wrought, now that is straight justice.”

 

εἰ κακά τις σπείραι, κακὰ κέρδεά <κ’> ἀμήσειεν·

εἴ κε πάθοι, τά τ’ ἔρεξε, δίκη κ’ ἰθεῖα γένοιτο
