10 抑:
於乎小子、未知藏否。
匪手攜之、言示之事。
匪面命之、言提其耳
借曰未知、亦既抱子。
民之靡盈、誰夙知而莫成。
Yi:
Oh! my son,
When you did not know what was good, and what was not good,
Not [only] did I lead you on by the hand,
But I showed the difference by appealing to affairs.
Not [only] did I charge you face to face,
But I held you by the ears.
And still perhaps you do not know,
Although you have held a son in your arms.
If people are not self-sufficient,
Who comes [only] to a late maturity after early instruction?
