[93] ἢ τὸ παράπαν οὖν, φησίν, οὐ διελεύσεται πόλεμος διὰ χώρας εὐσεβῶν, ἀλλ’ αὐτὸς καταρρυήσεται καὶ συντριβήσεται πρὸς ἑαυτόν, πρὸς οἵους ἔσοιτο ὁ ἀγὼν αἰσθανομένων τῶν ἀντιπάλων,
ἅτε χρωμένους ἀνανταγωνίστῳ συμμαχίᾳ τοῦ δικαίου· μεγαλοπρεπὲς γὰρ καὶ περίσεμνον ἀρετὴ καὶ μόνη καθ’ ἡσυχίαν ἱκανὴ φορὰς μεγάλων ἐξευμαρίζειν κακῶν.

[93] Therefore, says the lawgiver, peace shall never come at all into the country of the pious, but shall fall to pieces of itself, and shall be dashed to pieces against itself, when the enemies perceive against what fierce and invincible enemies the contest is, and employ against them the irresistible alliance of justice; for virtue is a great, and dignified, and very venerable thing, and is by itself, when in tranquillity, able to alleviate the attacks of great evils.
