一物失稱,亂之端也。夫德不稱位,能不稱官,賞不當功,罰不當罪,不祥莫大焉。     

Should one action not have a proper or balanced recompensation, it would be the origin of chaos.  When a moral worth does not match with a suitable position, or the ability does not match with an appropriate office, or rewards do not correspond to achievement, or penalties do not correspond to offenses, anything inauspicious would happen. 

PS. Sound familiar?
