9.69

有子有財 愚唯汲汲 我且非我
何有子財 暑當止此 寒當止此
愚多預慮 莫知來變 愚曚愚蔽
自謂我智 愚而稱智 是謂極愚

'"I have children, I have wealth"— / The fool is ever anxious about this. / When one's own self is not even one's self, / How could there be children or wealth? / "In the heat I will stay here; / In the cold I will stay here"— / The fool plans so much in advance, / Knowing nothing of coming changes. / Foolish, dark, and clouded over, / He calls himself wise. / But being foolish and claiming wisdom— / This is called the utmost folly.'
