The Judgement
The Receptive brings about sublime success,
Furthering through the perseverance of a mare.
If the superior man undertakes something and
tries to lead, He goes astray; But if he follows,
he finds guidance. It is favorable to find friends
in the west and south, To forego friends in the
east and north. Quiet perseverance brings
good fortune.
The Image
The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of
character Carries the outer world.
The Lines
When there is hoarfrost underfoot,
Solid ice is not far off.
Straight, square, great. Without purpose,
Yet nothing remains unfurthered.
Hidden lines. One is able to remain
persevering. If by chance you are in the service
of a king, Seek not works, but bring to
completion.
A tied-up sack. No blame, no praise.
A yellow lower garment brings supreme good
fortune.
Dragons fight in the meadow.
Their blood is black and yellow.
When all the lines are sixes, it means:
Lasting perseverance furthers.
