A hurricane will not outlast the morning,
a heavy rain will not outlast the day.
Who has the power to hurry things?
If Heaven and Earth do not hurry them,
what shall a person do?
If one is in accord with Tao in all things,
one is identified with Tao.
Whosoever is identified with Tao,
Tao receives with gladness.
One who is identified with virtue,
the virtuous empower.
And one who is identified with vice,
the licentious gladly serve.
When one is in accord with Tao,
one is met with trust.
