When a feudal lord abandons a requital
He does not wash his shame away
He will requite it there where he is.

[Requital]

There where envy, theft and secrets rules
Between the wives of one man,
Then lower them in ranking
And remove those persons. 

If one does not take away their influence
And does not lower them in ranking
And does not remove those persons
Then will that make mischief.
 

[Jealousy]

As long as in the inside of your heart
There is no harmony with things,
Then do not speak about the outside.
As long as minor things are not investigated
Then do not speak about the major things.

[Harmony]

Profits do never gather in a single hand.
Rewards are never doubled.
Animals that carry horns
Do not have sharp teeth. 

[Profit]

3.23

Use in a war always the correct banner
When you have gained what you desired
Then stop the war.

[Reasons]

Corn in an ear carries no flowers.
Sincere words does not sound fine.
The greatest joy, does not know a laugh.
That what carries flowers, always contains a pit.
And in the pit there is a hard core. 

[Welfare]

The way of Heaven and Earth
Knows left and right.
Knows feminine and male
Grandiose is the performing of the job.
And it does not allow
To break the circle of opinion.

The rolling thunderclap is his carriage,
The stroke of lightning is the horse.
Where one goes,follows the other one,
And when he stops, the other one waits.

Use the Earth and create wealth.
Use the Nation and form an army.

[The circle of opinion]
