《左传·成公·成公十六年》
现在楚国内部丢弃他的百姓，外部断绝他的友好，亵渎神圣的盟约而说话不讲信用，违反时令发动战争，使百姓疲劳以求快意。
今楚内弃其民，而外绝其好，渎齐盟，而食话言，奸时以动，而疲民以逞。
Now inside Chu, he discards his people; outside, he breaks off from his friendly relations; he profanes sacred alliances, and speaks without making good his words; he violates the rules of the seasons, and harasses his people to gratify his pleasure.
