Dommen
I (den tilstand, der betegnes af) Žhui, vil kongen begive sig til sit forfædretempel. Det vil være fordelagtigt (også) at møde den store mand; og da vil der komme fremgang og succes, selvom fordelen må komme af fast retskaffenhed. Brugen af store offerdyr vil bidrage til god lykke; og i hvilken retning bevægelse end gøres, vil det være fordelagtigt.
De seks linjer
Linje 1
The first SIX, divided, shows its subject with a sincere desire (for union), but unable to carry it out, so that disorder is brought into the sphere of his union. If he cry out (for help to his proper correlate), all at once (his tears) will give place to smiles. He need not mind (the temporary difficulty); as he goes forward, there will be no error.
Linje 2
The second SIX, divided, shows its subject led forward (by his correlate). There will be good fortune, and freedom from error. There is entire sincerity, and in that case (even the small offerings of) the vernal sacrifice are acceptable.
Linje 3
The third SIX, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret.
Linje 4
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject in such a state that, if he be greatly fortunate, he will receive no blame.
Linje 5
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows the union (of all) under its subject in the place of dignity. There will be no error. If any do not have confidence in him, let him see to it that (his virtue) be great, long-continued, and firmly correct, and all occasion for repentance will disappear.
Linje 6
The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping; but there will be no error.
