     The Judgement

          The Marrying Maiden.
          Undertakings bring misfortune.
          Nothing that would further.

     The Image

          Thunder over the lake:
          The image of the Marrying Maiden.
          Thus the superior man
          Understands the transitory
          In the light of the eternity of the end.

     The Lines

     []   Six in the third place means:
          The marrying maiden as a slave.
          She marries as a concubine.

     The Image

          Thunder in heaven above:
          The image of the Power of the Great.
          Thus the superior man does not tread upon paths
          That do not accord with established order.
