Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder. Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones.

Bék mulia hana murak, meunta geupeujeuet bék jipeujeuet. Bék seukala barang trang, meunta geupeujeuet bék jikeumeubo. Bék peuleumah barang nyang that-that, meunta hatée ureung bék geupeuplueng. Nyan khan treuk nyang saleh: Buet hatée uroe, peunoh pöt, lém haté-that, kuat that-that. Salalu meunoe ureung lam keuwangan dan tanpa keur desire, treuk nyang mupeng hana meunoe geupeubisa. Ngon geupeubuet Hana-peubuet, that-that hana meunoe hana saban-saban.
