[179] φήσει δὲ πάντως·
οἶδα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀρετῆς ἐλεγχόμενον καὶ ὑπὸ φρονήσεως παιδευόμενον. διόπερ οὐ πᾶσαν κάκωσιν ἐν αἰτίᾳ τίθεμαι, ἀλλὰ τὴν μὲν δικαιοσύνης καὶ νομοθετικῆς ἔργον οὖσαν — ἐπιπλήξει γὰρ σωφρονίζει — μάλιστα θαυμάζω, τὴν δὲ ἀφροσύνης καὶ κακίας, βλαβερὰν ὑπάρχουσαν, ἀποστρέφομαι καὶ κακίζω δεόντως.

[179] But, you will most certainly say, I know that men are reproved by virtue, and instructed by wisdom; on which account I do not blame every kind of affliction, but I very greatly admire that which is the work of justice and of the ¹² law; for that corrects by means of punishment, but that which proceeds from folly and wickedness and is pernicious, I do, as becomes me, detest, and pronounce real evil.
