The Great Treatise of the Stages on the Path to Enlightenment : Karma Lessons.

The Chapter of the Truth Speaker and Sutra on Ten Levels both state that each of the nonvirtues actions has two effects. They say that even if you are born human, still :

As a result of killing : you will have a short lifespan and many illnesses;

As a result of stealing : you would have few resources and the resources you do have would be shared with others

As a result of sexual misconduct: your helpers would be disorderly and untruthworthy, and you would have a contentuous spouse;

As a result of lying : others would slander you a great deal, and they would deceive you;

As a result of divisive speech : your helpers would not get along and would misbehave;

As a result of offensive speech : you would hear unpleasant and quarrelsome speech;

As a result of senseless speech : your words would not be respected or understandable and your confidence would not be unshakable;

As a result of covetousness : you would have great attachment and no contentment

As a result of malice : you would seek the unbeneficial or not seek the beneficial and you would harm others or others would harm you;

As a result of wrong views : you would have bad views and would be deceitful
