Am ersprießlichsten ist, um glücklich zu sein,

Der besonnene Sinn: nie frevle darum
An der Götter Gesez! Der Vermessene büßt
Das vermessene Wort mit schwerem Gericht;
Dann lernt er zulezt
Noch weise zu werden im Alter.

As Creon is being conducted into the house, the Chorus Leader speaks the closing verses.
Chorus
Wisdom is provided as the chief part of happiness, and our dealings with the gods must be in no way unholy. The great words of arrogant men have to make repayment with great blows, and in old age teach wisdom.
