墨家 -> 墨子 -> 卷一 -> 七患 -> 5

故曰：以其極賞，以賜無功，(The present rulers) squander great amounts of wealth to reward the undeserving,
虛其府庫，empty the treasury
以備車馬、衣裘、奇怪，苦其役徒，以治宮室觀樂；to acquire carriages and horses, exhaust the labourers to build palaces and furnish amusements.
死又厚為棺槨，Upon their death, again, thick coffins
多為衣裘。 and many coats and fur coats are to be furnished.
生時治臺榭， Porches and pavilions are built for them while they are living.
死又脩墳墓。 and tombs when they are dead.
故民苦於外，By this the people are embittered
府庫單於內， and the treasury is left lean.
上不厭其樂， While the amusements are not yet satisfying to the superiors,
下不堪其苦。 the hardship already becomes unbearable for the subjects.
故國離寇敵則傷，Such a state will fall under any attack
民見凶饑則亡， and such people will perish by famine.
此皆備不具之罪也。 And all this is due to the absence of preparation.
且夫食者，Moreover, food
聖人之所寶也。 is what the sages treasured.
故《周書》曰： The history of Zhou says,
「國無三年之食者，"Without three years' food (in store)
國非其國也； a state cannot be a state (as it is in danger of losing its sovereignty).
家無三年之食者，A family being without food in store to be sufficient for three years
子非其子也。」 its children cannot be its children (who are in danger of being abandoned or sold to others)."
此之謂國備。Such, then, is the preparation of a country.
