| 7 | 天志中: |
且吾所以知天愛民之厚者，不止此而足矣。曰殺不辜者，天予不祥。不辜者誰也？曰人也。予之不祥者誰也？曰天也。若天不愛民之厚，夫胡說人殺不辜，而天予之不祥哉？此吾 之所1以知天之愛民之厚也。 |
| Will of Heaven II: |
Yet this does not exhaust my reasons whereby I know Heaven loves man dearly. It is said the murder of an innocent individual will call down a calamity. Who is the innocent? Man is. From whom is the visitation? From Heaven. If Heaven does not love the people dearly, why should Heaven send down a visitation upon the man who murders the innocent? Thus I know Heaven loves man dearly. 1. 之所 : Inserted. 孫詒讓《墨子閒詁》 |
