原文： 荡荡上帝，下民之辟。
疾威上帝，其命多辟。
天生烝民，其命匪谌。
靡不有初，鲜克有终。
文王曰咨，咨汝殷商。
曾是彊御？曾是掊克？曾是在位？曾是在服？天降滔德，女兴是力。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
而秉义类，彊御多怼。
流言以对。
寇攘式内。
侯作侯祝，靡届靡究。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
女炰烋于中国。
敛怨以为德。
不明尔德，时无背无侧。
尔德不明，以无陪无卿。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
天不湎尔以酒，不义从式。
既愆尔止。
靡明靡晦。
式号式呼。
俾昼作夜。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
如蜩如螗，如沸如羹。
小大近丧，人尚乎由行。
内奰于中国，覃及鬼方。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
匪上帝不时，殷不用旧。
虽无老成人，尚有典刑。
曾是莫听，大命以倾。
文王曰咨，咨女殷商。
人亦有言：颠沛之揭，枝叶未有害，本实先拨。
殷鉴不远，在夏后之世。
Translation:
The tyrant king is arrogant and licentious he is the ruler of the common people. The tyrant king is greedy and cruel his policies are twisted and abnormal. He deceives the people and breaks his promises. Although he starts things well he rarely ends them well.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! How many violent and ruthless thieves who plunder and exploit the people. They seize high positions and enjoy great wealth becoming arrogant with power. These unjust ministers have helped the king to become even more tyrannical.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! You appoint the virtuous to positions but the wicked and treacherous officials are dissatisfied. They spread slander and seize power by force. They curse the loyal and harm the righteous causing endless disasters.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! You are too arrogant and do not recognize the evil people as loyal subjects. You lack the ability to judge people and do not know that the rebels have formed alliances. You lack the ability to judge people and do not know who among the officials can be trusted.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! Heaven did not allow you to indulge in drinking or use bandits. You disregard etiquette and behave recklessly day and night. You shout and scream without any dignity causing chaos in the affairs of the state.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! The people lament like the sound of cicadas as if they have fallen into boiling water. You are unable to handle even small matters yet you remain unchanged. The anger of the people spreads far and wide.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! It is not that the tyrant king has a bad heart but that you do not abide by the old rules and regulations. Although there are no old ministers by your side there are still established laws to follow. By not listening to advice the fate of the country will change and it will perish.
King Wen sighed deeply and lamented the last king of the Yin Dynasty! The ancients have a saying that should not be forgotten: When a big tree falls its roots are exposed. Although the branches and leaves may not be harmed for a while the rotten roots cannot last long. The mirror of the Yin Dynasty is not far away you should know the fate of King Jie of the Xia Dynasty.

天台生困暑，夜卧絺帷中，童子持翣飏于前，适甚就睡。
久之，童子亦睡，投翣倚床，其音如雷。
生惊寤，以为风雨且至也。
抱膝而坐，俄而耳旁闻有飞鸣声，如歌如诉，如怨如慕，拂肱刺肉，扑股面。
毛发尽竖，肌肉欲颤；两手交拍，掌湿如汗。
引而嗅之，赤血腥然也。
大愕，不知所为。
蹴童子，呼曰：“吾为物所苦，亟起索烛照。
”烛至，絺帷尽张。
蚊数千，皆集帷旁，见烛乱散，如蚁如蝇，利嘴饫腹，充赤圆红。
生骂童子曰：“此非吾血者耶？尔不谨，蹇帷而放之入。
且彼异类也，防之苟至，乌能为人害？”童子拔蒿束之，置火于端，其烟勃郁，左麾右旋，绕床数匝，逐蚊出门，复于生曰：“可以寝矣，蚊已去矣。
” 生乃拂席将寝，呼天而叹曰：“天胡产此微物而毒人乎？” 童子闻之，哑而笑曰：“子何待己之太厚，而尤天之太固也！夫覆载之间，二气絪緼，赋形受质，人物是分。
大之为犀象，怪之为蛟龙，暴之为虎豹，驯之为麋鹿与庸狨，羽毛而为禽为兽，裸身而为人为虫，莫不皆有所养。
虽巨细修短之不同，然寓形于其中则一也。
自我而观之，则人贵而物贱，自天地而观之，果孰贵而孰贱耶？今人乃自贵其贵，号为长雄。
水陆之物，有生之类，莫不高罗而卑网，山贡而海供，蛙黾莫逃其命，鸿雁莫匿其踪，其食乎物者，可谓泰矣，而物独不可食于人耶？兹夕，蚊一举喙，即号天而诉之；使物为人所食者，亦皆呼号告于天，则天之罚人，又当何如耶？且物之食于人，人之食于物，异类也，犹可言也。
而蚊且犹畏谨恐惧，白昼不敢露其形，瞰人之不见，乘人之困怠，而后有求焉。
今有同类者，啜栗而饮汤，同也；畜妻而育子，同也；衣冠仪貌，无不同者。
白昼俨然，乘其同类之间而陵之，吮其膏而盬其脑，使其饿踣于草野，流离于道路，呼天之声相接也，而且无恤之者。
今子一为蚊所，而寝辄不安；闻同类之相，而若无闻，岂君子先人后身之道耶？” 天台生于是投枕于地，叩心太息，披衣出户，坐以终夕。
莫笑刘郎老。老刘郎平生，不是山林怀抱。梦里风云翻海岳，觉后狂歌坠帽。叹几度、荒鸡误晓。天际晴云开五色，纵今年、意气犹年少。机事远，有时到。
凯歌檄笔凭谁道。对村中、一溪流水，半林斜照。赖有可人堪话旧，时共掀髯绝倒。也来问、衮衣茸帽。聊且问天占百岁，看乾坤、此事如何了。肠断处，春城草。
