     The Judgement

          Enthusiasm. It furthers one to install helpers
          And to set armies marching.

     The Image

          Thunder comes resounding out of the earth:
          The image of Enthusiasm.
          Thus the ancient kings made music
          In order to honor merit,
          And offered it with splendor
          To the Supreme Deity,
          Inviting their ancestors to be present.

     The Lines

          Six in the second place means:
          Firm as a rock. Not a whole day.
          Perseverance brings good fortune.

     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.
