Very good question. Found this in a translation web site. Please see the reference page, item number 491. It is an existing English idiom that comes very close to the Chinese phrase in terms of the underlining meaning.

While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten.
道高一尺，魔高一丈。

Hope it helps.

I doubt very few Westerners would have heard of this proverb/saying. Just try finding a foreign site with this proverb!!
