Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

5: The Chapter about Fools – 71
Deeds that are not well done
The Buddha warned a farmer regarding a thousand gold coins
dropped by a thief in his field; the farmer covered them over
and continued ploughing; some people investigating the
robbery traced the thieves to his field and uncovered the coins
and he was arrested; the Buddha affirmed the farmer’s
innocence and spoke this verse.
67. Na taṁ kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu, yaṁ katvā anutappati,
yassa assumukho rodaṁ, vipākaṁ paṭisevati.
That deed is not at all well done,
which, having done, one has regret,
for which he has tears on his face,
as the result follows him round.
