《左传·僖公·僖公二十二年》
宋襄公准备应战，大司马固劝阻说： 上天丢弃我们商朝后代已经很久了，您想复兴它，这是违背上天而不能被赦免的。 
宋公将战，大司马固谏曰： 天之弃商久矣，君将兴之，弗可赦也已。 
Duke Xiang of Song prepared to fight, and the Grand Marshal firmly dissuaded him and said: "The heavens have abandoned us descendants of the Shang Dynasty for a long time, and if you want to revive its fortunes, it goes against the will of the heavens and cannot be forgiven."
