82.88

夫士之生 斧在口中 所以斫身
由其惡言 應毀反譽 應譽反毀
自受其殃 終無復樂

"When a person is born, / an axe is in his mouth; / that which he chops himself with
Is his own evil speech. / What should be reviled he instead praises; / what should be praised he instead reviles.
He personally suffers his own misfortune / and ultimately has no more joy."
