3.10

Outwardly they have no etiquette of kneeling and rising; inwardly they cut off the courtesy of gentle reverence. Can they be said not to violate the regulations of the former kings?" (Outwardly, before the ruler, they have no ritual etiquette of kneeling and bowing. Inwardly, before parents, they have no courteous demeanor of gentle reverence. By failing to practice the institutional laws of the ancient, former wise kings, how could they not be in violation?)
