     The Judgement

          Deliverance. The southwest furthers.
          If there is no longer anything where one has to go,
          Return brings good fortune.
          If there is still something where one has to go,
          Hastening brings good fortune.

     The Image

          Thunder and rain set in:
          The image of Deliverance.
          Thus the superior man pardons mistakes
          And forgives misdeeds.

     The Lines

          Six in the third place means:
          If a man carries a burden on his back
          And nonetheless rides in a carriage,
          He thereby encourages robbers to draw near.
          Perseverance leads to humiliation.
