29. “Bhikkhus, the person who lives without virtue, lacking any morality in his lifestyle, should expect one of these two destinations for himself once the body breaks down: either rebirth into the terrible realms of hell, or rebirth into the animal realm.”

“On the other hand, Bhikkhus, the person who lives virtuously, supported by morality in his lifestyle, should expect one of these two destinations for himself once the body breaks down: either rebirth into the lovely and comfortable heavenly realms of the Devas, or rebirth into the human realm.”
