English translation of verse(s):

Verse 318
Those who imagine evil where there is none, and do not see evil where it is—upholding false views, they go to states of woe

Verse 319
Those who discern the wrong as wrong and the right as right—upholding right views, they go to realms of bliss.

(Translated by Acharya Buddharakkhita)
