31

The deceitful cannot last long;
The empty cannot be preserved.[1]
Rotten wood cannot be carved,[2]
Nor can he long endure whose [proper] feelings are lost.[1]

The Ode says,[3]

The drums and bells are beaten in the palace,
And their sound is heard without.
It says that what there is inside must show on the outside.
