     The Judgement

          Fellowship with Men in the open.
          Success.
          It furthers one to cross the great water.
          The perseverance of the superior man furthers.

     The Image

          Heaven together with fire:
          The image of Fellowship with Men.
          Thus the superior man organizes the clans
          And makes distinctions between things.

     The Lines

          Nine in the third place means:
          He hides weapons in the thicket;
          He climbs the high hill in front of it.
          For three years he does not rise up.

          Nine in the fourth place means:
          He climbs up on his wall; he cannot attack.
          Good fortune.

     The Judgement

          Increase. It furthers one
          To undertake something.
          It furthers one to cross the great water.

     The Image

          Wind and thunder: the image of Increase.
          Thus the superior man:
          If he sees good, he imitates it;
          If he has faults, he rids himself of them.
