Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

5: The Chapter about Fools – 64
The long journey in births and deaths
King Pasenadi was overcome with desire for another man’s
wife and sought to have him killed; during the night he woke to
the sound of four people screaming; the Buddha explained
they were adulterers in their previous lives and did no good
deeds, and then he spoke this verse.
60. Dīghā jāgarato ratti, dīghaṁ santassa yojanaṁ,
dīgho bālānaṁ saṁsāro Saddhammaṁ avijānataṁ.
Long is the night for one awake,
long is a league for one tired,
long is the round of births and deaths
for fools who know not True Dhamma.
