Original text:

Those who help others with Tao will not strengthen the world with soldiers.

It's too far.

Where the teacher is, the thorn is born; After joining the army, there must be a fierce year.

Good is only fruitful, not strong.

Fruit without pity, fruit without cutting, fruit without arrogance.

If you have to, don't be strong.

Things get old when they are strong, which means there is no way, no way.

Translation:

Those who assist the monarch according to the principle of "Tao" do not use soldiers to show their courage in the world. This kind of belligerence is bound to pay off. Wherever the army goes, there are thorns, and there will be famine years after the war.

People who are good at fighting can do it as long as they achieve the purpose of fighting, and they don't rely on strength to be brave and aggressive.

If you achieve your goal, don't hold yourself back. If you achieve your goal, don't cry roast meat. If you achieve your goal, don't be self-righteous. If you have to, don't try to be brave.

In the past, strong things will decline, indicating that things that do not conform to Tao will soon die out.
