Take Hold
Translation by Tree Buffalo
People do not fear punishment because they can always be punished more.
So do not squeeze their homes, and do not press down on their livelihood.
Because when you do not press down they are not pressed down upon.
This is why the wise person knows themselves but does not regard themselves.
They love themselves but do not treasure themselves.
They discard one to take hold of the other.
