《墨子·18章 非攻(中)》
东方有个莒国，这国家很小，而处于两个大国之间，不敬事大国，也不听从大国而唯利是好，结果东面的越国来侵削他的疆土，西面的齐国兼并、占有了它。
东方有莒之国者，其为国甚小，闲于大国之闲，不敬事于大，大国亦弗之从而爱利，是以东者越人夹削其壤地，西者齐人兼而有之。
In the East, there was a state known as Ju, it was very small, and yet it was situated between two larger states. It did not pay proper respect to larger states, nor did it obey them, instead it only ever sought to benefit itself. As a result, the state of Yue in the East came to encroach upon its borders, and the state of Qi in the West ended up annexing and occupying it.
