9.11

Where disorder accumulates internally,
Where titles get out of order externally,
At that place an attack will take place.
When in a state internally the inpression rules,
That she is doomed, and where externally
Undertakings get out of order, that place will be lost.
Where violation of the rules cries to the sky,
And where one goes on without stopping,
Undoing will take place.
 




Disorder

9.12

When a state is moving itself
And wants to surprise another state,
And when that effort does not work,
then that is called: "To take part to Heaven"
If the effort is succesfull,
Than you will surely stay nameless.




Take part to Heaven

9.13

Esteeming opponents highly ....,
... to keep and follow Tao,
That state will come in danger
And disaster will take place.
Where two opponents attack each other,
There they will bring each other disaster,
Both states will be in danger to be ruined.

he titles of the verses and text between [brackets] are no part of the original text.
The numbers are added by me for editorial reasons. Gaps in the numbering mean that a the verse is not translated. In all cases that is because there were to much unreadible characters in the original text
