| 74 | 道德經: | 民不畏死，奈何以死懼之？若使民常畏死，而為奇者，吾得執而殺之，孰敢？常有司殺者殺。夫司殺者，是大匠斲；夫代大匠斲者，希有不傷其手矣。 |
| Dao De Jing: |
(Restraining delusion) The people do not fear death; to what purpose is it to (try to) frighten them with death? If the people were always in awe of death, and I could always seize those who do wrong, and put them to death, who would dare to do wrong? There is always One who presides over the infliction death. He who would inflict death in the room of him who so presides over it may be described as hewing wood instead of a great carpenter. Seldom is it that he who undertakes the hewing, instead of the great carpenter, does not cut his own hands! |

| 1 | 制惑: | 民不畏死，治國者刑罰酷深，民不聊生，故不畏死也。治身者嗜欲傷神，貪財殺身，民不知畏之也。奈何以死懼之？人君不寬刑罰，教民去情欲，奈何設刑法以死懼之？若使民常畏死，當除己之所殘剋，教民去利欲也。而為奇者，吾得執而殺之。孰敢？以道教化而民不從，反為奇巧，乃應王法執而殺之，誰敢有犯者？老子疾時王不先道德化之，而先刑罰也。常有司殺者。司殺者，謂天居高臨下，司察人過。天網恢恢，疏而不失也。夫代司殺者，是謂代大匠斲。天道至明，司殺有常，猶春生夏長，秋收冬藏，斗杓運移，以節度行之。人君欲代殺之，是猶拙夫代大匠斲木，勞而無功也。夫代大匠斲者，希有不傷手矣。人君行刑罰，猶拙夫代大匠斲，則方圓不得其理，還自傷。代天殺者，失紀綱，不得其紀綱還受其殃也。 |

| 8 | 大道下: | 老子曰：「民不畏死，如何以死懼之。」凡民之不畏死，由刑罰過。刑罰過，則民不賴其生；生無所賴，視君之威末如也。刑罰中，則民畏死；畏死，由生之可樂也。知生之可樂，故可以死懼之，此人君之所宜執，臣下之所宜慎。 |

| 39 | 老子乙德... : | 若民恆且○不畏死，若何以殺懼之也？使民恆且畏死，而為畸者，□得而殺之，夫孰敢矣！若民恆且必畏死，則恆又司殺者。夫代司殺者殺，是代大匠斲。夫代大匠斲，則希不傷其手。 |

| 26 | 德經: | 民不畏死，治國者刑罰酷深，民不聊生，故不畏死也。治身者嗜欲傷神，貪財殺身，不知畏之。奈何以死懼之，人君不寬其刑罰，教人去情欲，奈何設刑罰法，以死懼之。若使民常畏死，當除己之所殘刻，教民去利欲。而為奇者，吾得執而殺之，孰敢矣。以道教化，而民不從，反為奇巧，乃應王法，執而殺之，誰敢有犯者，老子傷時主不先道德化之，而先刑罰也。 |
