」孔子曰：「然。
人有三死而非命也者，人自取之。
Humans suffer three varieties of death not fixed by fate but that instead arise from the paths that they adopt.
夫寢處不時，飲食不節，佚勞過度者，疾共殺之。
居下位而上忤其君，嗜慾無厭，而求不止者，刑共殺之。
As a rule, those who sleep and lodge irregularly, who eat and drink without restraint, and who indulge excessively in rest or toil are invariably killed by illness.
少以犯眾，弱以侮強，忿怒不量力者，兵共殺之。
此三死者非命也，人自取之。
Those in low position who offend their rulers and those whose desires are unappeasable and who strive ceaselessly to satisfy them are invariably killed through the application of capital punishment; and those who, though small in number, rebel against groups whose members are more numerous, those who, though weak, insult the strong, and those who out of anger fail to take stock of their own strength are invariably killed by armed troops.
」詩曰：「人而無儀，不死何為！
」此之謂也。
These three kinds of death are not ordained by fate but arise from the paths that people choose.” As is said in the Odes, “A man with no propriety, / What can he do but die?” That sums up the situation.
