The knowing one does not talk. The talker knows nothing. Stop up these openings, bar this gate. Blunt this sharpness. Sever this connection. Harmonize this splendour. Become one with this dust. This is called the union with the dark one. Therefore one is not able to obtain inclination. Nor is one able to obtain disinclination. One does not obtain bliss. Nor does one obtain calamity. One does not obtain honour. Nor does one obtain disgrace. Therefore one is esteemed within the empire.

《道德經》: 知者不言，言者不知。塞其兑，閉其門，挫其銳，解其分，和其光，同其塵，是謂玄同。故不可得而親，不可得而踈；不可得而利，不可得而害；不可得而貴，不可得而賤。故為天下貴。
《老子河上公章句·玄德》: 知者不言，言者不知。塞其兌，閉其門，挫其銳，解其紛，和其光，同其塵，是謂玄同。故不可得而親，亦不可得而踈；不可得而利，亦不可得而害，不可得而貴，亦不可得而賤，故為天下貴。
《郭店·老子甲》: 知之者弗言，言之者弗知。閉其兌，塞其門，和其廣，同其塵，畜其銳，解其忿，是謂玄同。故不可得而親，亦不可得而疏；不可得而利，亦不可得而害；不可得而貴，亦不可得而賤。故為天下貴。
《馬王堆·老子甲德經》: □□弗言，言者弗知。塞其悶，閉其□，□其光，同其塵，坐其閱，解其紛，是胃玄同。故不可得而親，亦不可得而疏；不可得而利，亦不可得而害；不可□而貴，亦不可得而淺。故為天下貴。
《馬王堆·老子乙德經》: 知者弗言，言者弗知。塞其兌，閉其門，和其光，同其塵，銼其兌，而解其紛，是胃玄同。故不可得而親也，亦□□得而□□□得而○利，□□□得而害；不可得而貴，亦不可得而賤。故為天下貴。 (Ⅰ) - He Shanggong (Chinese) :
知者不言，言者不知。塞其兌，閉其門，挫其銳，解其紛，和其光，同其塵，是謂玄同。故不可得而親，亦不可得而踈；不可得而利，亦不可得而害，不可得而貴，亦不可得而賤，故為天下貴。 (Ⅱ) - Wing-Tsit Chan (1963) :
He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know.
Close the mouth. Shut the doors. Blunt the sharpness. Untie the tangles. Soften the light. Become one with the dusty world. This is called the profound identification.
Therefore it is impossible either to be intimate and close to him or to be distant and indifferent to him. It is impossible either to benefit him or to harm him. It is impossible either to honour him or disgrace him. For this reason he is honoured by the world. (Ⅲ) - Ellen Marie Chen (1989) :
One who knows does not speak,
One who speaks does not know.
Stop the apertures,
Close the door;
Blunt the sharp,
Untie the entangled;
Harmonize the bright,
Make identical the dust.
This is called the mystical identity (hsüan t'ung).
Therefore with this person you cannot get intimate (ch'in),
Cannot get distant,
Cannot benefit,
Cannot harm,
Cannot exalt,
Cannot humiliate.
Therefore such person is the exalted of the world. (Ⅳ) - Ch'u Ta-Kao (1904) :
Blunt all that is sharp;
Cut all that is divisible;
Blur all that which is brilliant;
Mix with all that is humble as dust;
This is called absolute equality.
Therefore it cannot be made intimate;
Nor can it be alienated.
It cannot be benefited;
Nor can it be harmed.
It cannot be exalted;
Nor can it be debased.
Therefore it is the most valuable thing in the world. (Ⅴ) - World by world translation :

One who knows says nothing.
One who says knows nothing.
Cover the ears, close the eyes;
Blunt the sharpness, dissolve the currents;
Soften the light, blend the substances.
And the result is called the profound sameness.
One who holds that sameness cannot be
Approached too close,
Or estranged too far,
Or favored too much,
Or harmed too badly,
Or valued too high,
Or degraded too low.
And is therefore the most appreciated in the world. (Ⅶ) - Lynn (2004) :
He who knows does not speak.
He who speaks does not know.
Block up your apertures;
Close your door;
Blunt your sharpness;
Cut away the tangled;
Merge with the brilliant;
Become one with the very dust.
We call this "one with mystery."
Thus one can neither get close to such a one nor get distant from him.
One can neither benefit nor harm him.
One can neither ennoble him nor debase him.
Thus such a one is esteemed by all under Heaven. (Ⅷ)
