且不惟此為然。Not only is this so.
昔者殷王紂，Anciently, King Zhou of Yin
貴為天子，was also an emperor in honour
富有天下， and possessed the whole empire in wealth.
上詬天侮鬼，He cursed Heaven and blasphemed against the spirits above
下殃傲天下之萬民， and destroyed the multitudes below.
播棄黎老，He exposed the aged
賊誅孩子， and murdered the children,
楚毒無罪， tortured the innocent,
刲剔孕婦， and opened a pregnant woman.
庶舊鰥寡，The common people and the widows and the widowers
號咷無告也。cried aloud, but were not heard.
故於此乎，天乃使武王至明罰焉。Thereupon Heaven commissioned King Wu to carry out the judicious punishment.
武王以擇車百兩，虎賁之卒四百人，With a hundred selected chariots and four hundred warriors King Wu
先庶國節窺戎， appointed his officials and reviewed his forces.
與殷人戰乎牧之野， He battled the armies of Yin in the Wilderness of Mu.
王乎禽費中、惡來， He captured Fei Zhong and E Lai,
眾畔百走。 and the multitude deserted and ran away.
武王逐奔入宮， King Wu rushed into the palace.
萬年梓株折紂而繫之赤環，He executed Zhou and hung him on a red ring
載之白旗， with his crimes published on a white flag,
以為天下諸侯僇。 to punish him for the feudal lords in the empire.
故昔者殷王紂，Now King Zhou of Yin
貴為天子，was an emperor in honour
富有天下， and possessed the whole empire in wealth.
有勇力之人費中、惡來、崇侯虎指寡殺人，He had men of such daring and strength as Fei Zhong, E Lai, and Duke Hu of Zhong, who could kill a man at the move of a finger;
人民之眾兆億， and the number of those killed amounted to a million,
侯盈厥澤陵， and they were thrown into the lakes and mountains.
然不能以此圉鬼神之誅。 Yet with all these Zhou could not evade the punishment from the ghosts and spirits.
此吾所謂鬼神之罰，不可為富貴眾強、勇力強武、堅甲利兵者，此也。This is why I say even wealth and numbers, daring and strength, strong armour and sharp weapons cannot frustrate the punishment from ghosts and spirits.
且禽艾之道之曰：『得璣無小，滅宗無大』。Moreover, Qin Ai has said: "No virtue is too small, no extermination of a lineage is too big."
則此言鬼神之所賞，This is to say, in distribution of rewards by ghosts and spirits
無小必賞之； no man is too insignificant to be rewarded for his virtue.
鬼神之所罰，And in the meting out of punishment by ghosts and spirits
無大必罰之」。 no man is too great to be punished.
