一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
和大怨，必有餘怨，安可以為善？是以聖人執左契，而不責於人。有德司契，無德司徹。天道無親，常與善人。When a great resentment is reconciled, some resentment surely remains; how can that be counted good? Therefore the sage holds the left half of the tally and does not press others for payment. One who has virtue keeps to the tally; one without virtue keeps to collecting. The Way of heaven has no favorites; it is always with the good.
白Plain Chinese
调解深重的怨恨，必定还留有余怨，这怎么能算是妥善呢？所以圣人拿着借据的存根，却不向人索取。有德的人像拿着借据的人那样宽和，无德的人专门挑人的过错。天道没有偏私，总是帮助善人。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Wang Bi; it will be checked when the chapter is taught.
