Alternate English translations
Third Edition
Although until now those who are on the high mountains have done anything as they please, scolding noisily,
Henceforth, however high their position may be, those who are on the high mountains shall never be able to do as they please to those who are at the bottoms of the valleys.
Inoue/Eynon
Hitherto, the people in high places have rebuked you loudly, and they behaved as they pleased.
Hereafter, regardless of their high status, they can no longer freely govern those in low places.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 232 五七、五八、今までは、上に立つ者達は、やかましく小言を言って、たすけづとめを差し止めたりなど、思いのままに干渉して来たが、もうこれからは、どれ程上に立つ者でも、低い者をままにする事は出来ない。
