| 5 | 抑: |
質爾人民、謹爾侯度、用戒不虞。 慎爾出話、敬爾威儀、無不柔嘉。 白圭之玷、尚可磨也。 斯言之玷、不可為也。 |
| Yi: |
Perfect what concerns your officers and people; Be careful of your duties as a prince [of the kingdom]; - To be prepared for unforeseen dangers. Be cautious of what you say; Be reverently careful of your outward demeanour; In all things be mild and correct. A flaw in a mace of white jade, May be ground away, But for a flaw in speech, Nothing can be done. |
