The king speaks to this effect:
"Ye numerous officers of Yin,
the case now is this, that the kings of our Zhou, from their great goodness, were charged with the work of God.
There was the charge to them,
,’ 'Cut off Yin.'
(They proceeded to perform it), and announced the execution of their service to God.
In our affairs we have followed no double aims;
ye of the royal House (of Yin) must (now simply) follow us.
May I not say that you have been very lawless?
I did not (want to) remove you.
The thing came from your own city.
When I consider also how Heaven has drawn near to Yin with so great tribulations,
。” it must be that there was (there) what was not right."
