79E
When great enemies settle their quarrel
Some of their enmity will linger on.
Is there a way to set things right?
The sage abides by the agreement
And does not seek to assign blame.
People of virtue meet their obligations.
Those without virtue exact their claims.

The Tao of Heaven does not take sides.
Yet it always stays with the good.

[A] Inspired by the SkyBox Trading Card 31, I'm using
suffixes {-'a'} and {-Hom} to indicate the intensity or
the degree of enmity:

   {jagh'a'pu'}: enemies of high degree
   {jaghHompu'}: enemies to a small degree

The relevant section of the card is

   beyHom bey bey'a' jachtaH latlh tlhInganpu'.
   ... others roar in great crescendo.
   [S31 {Hegh bey}Death Howl]
