📜The Judgment

The Power of the Great. Perseverance furthers.

🏔The Image

Thunder in heaven above. The superior person does not tread upon paths that do not accord with established order.

⚊The Lines

Yang

First (Bottom)

Power in the toes. Continuing brings misfortune. This is certainly true.

Yang

Second

Perseverance brings good fortune.

Yang

Third

The inferior person uses power. The superior person does not. Continuing is dangerous. A goat butts against a hedge and gets entangled.

Yang

Fourth

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. The hedge opens, there is no entanglement. Power in the axle of a big cart.

Yin

Fifth

Loses the goat with ease. No remorse. Giving up stubbornness.

Yin

Sixth (Top)

A goat butts against a hedge. It cannot go backward or forward. Nothing serves to further. Noting the difficulty brings good fortune.
