     The Judgement

          Work on What Has Been Spoiled

          It furthers one to cross the great water.

          After the starting point, three days.

     The Image

          The wind blows low on the mountain:
          The image of Decay.
          Thus the superior man stirs up the people
          And strengthens their spirit.

     The Lines

          Six in the fourth place means:
          Tolerating what has been spoiled by the father.
          In continuing one sees humiliation.

          Nine at the top means:
          He does not serve kings and princes,
          Sets himself higher goals.
