Il Giudizio
Kwâi richiede (a chi vorrebbe adempiere al suo significato) che (la colpa del colpevole) sia esibita alla corte reale, e un appello sincero e serio (per simpatia e sostegno), con la consapevolezza del pericolo (insito nel tagliare fuori il criminale). Dovrebbe (anche) fare un annuncio nella propria città, e mostrare che non sarà bene ricorrere subito alle armi. (In questo modo) vi sarà vantaggio in tutto ciò che intraprenderà.
Le sei linee
Linea 1
The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject in (the pride of) strength advancing with his toes. He goes forward, but will not succeed. There will be ground for blame.
Linea 2
The second NINE, undivided, shows its subject full of apprehension and appealing (for sympathy and help). Late at night hostile measures may be (taken against him), but he need not be anxious about them.
Linea 3
The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject (about to advance) with strong (and determined) looks. There will be evil. (But) the superior man, bent on cutting off (the criminal), will walk alone and encounter the rain, (till he be hated by his proper associates) as if he were contaminated (by the others). (In the end) there will be no blame against him.
Linea 4
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows one from whose buttocks the skin has been stripped, and who walks slowly and with difficulty. (If he could act) like. a sheep led (after its companions), occasion for repentance would disappear. But though he hear these words, he will not believe them.
Linea 5
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows (the small men like) a bed of purslain, which ought to be uprooted with the utmost determination. (The subject of the line having such determination), his action, in harmony with his central position, will lead to no error or blame.
Linea 6
The sixth SIX, divided, shows its subject without any (helpers) on whom to call. His end will be evil.
