"That's the way it is, great king! That's the way it is! Even affluent nobles, affluent brahmans, & affluent householders... tell deliberate lies with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the reason, simply for the sake of sensual pleasures. That will lead to their long-term harm & pain."

That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher, said further:

Impassioned     with sensual possessions,
greedy, dazed    by sensual pleasures,
they don't awaken to the fact
    that they've gone too far --
        like fish into a trap set out.
    Afterwards it's bitter for them:
    evil for them
        the result.
