📜 ᱛᱷᱚᱠ ᱧᱮᱞᱢᱟ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
He who has in himself abundantly the attributes (of the Tao) is like an infant. Poisonous insects will not sting him; fierce beasts will not seize him; birds of prey will not strike him. (The infant's) bones are weak and its sinews soft, but yet its grasp is firm. When things have become strong, they (then) become old, which may be said to be contrary to the Tao. Whatever is contrary to the Tao soon ends.
