     The Judgement

          Darkening of the Light. In adversity
          It furthers one to be persevering.

     The Image

          The light has sunk into the earth:
          The image of Darkening of the Light.
          Thus does the superior man live with the great mass:
          He veils his light, yet still shines.

     The Lines

     ()   Six in the second place means:
          Darkening of the light injures him in the left thigh.
          He gives aid with the strength of a horse.
          Good fortune.

     The Judgement

          Peace. The small departs,
          The great approaches.
          Good fortune. Success.

     The Image

          Heaven and earth unite: the image of Peace.
          Thus the ruler
          Divides and completes the course of heaven and earth;
          He furthers and regulates the gifts of heaven and earth,
          And so aids the people.
