     The Judgement

          The Corners of the Mouth.
          Perseverance brings good fortune.
          Pay heed to the providing of nourishment
          And to what a man seeks
          To fill his own mouth with.

     The Image

          At the foot of the mountain, thunder:
          The image of Providing Nourishment.
          Thus the superior man is careful of his words
          And temperate in eating and drinking.
