Dhammapada · 13.7

Yassa pāpaṃ kataṃ kammaṃ, kusalena pidhīyati;Somaṃ lokaṃ pabhāseti, abbhā muttova candimā.

Yassa papam katam kammam, kusalena pidhiyati; Somam lokam pabhaseti, abbha muttova candima.

Whose evil deed is covered up by good — he lights up the world, like the moon freed from a cloud.
