Het Oordeel
Kî Žî duidt vooruitgang en succes aan in kleine zaken. Er zal voordeel zijn in juist en standvastig zijn. Er is geluk geweest in het begin; er kan wanorde zijn aan het einde.
De zes lijnen
Lijn 1
The first NINE, undivided, (shows its subject as a driver) who drags back his wheel, (or as a fox) which has wet his tail. There will be no error.
Lijn 2
The second SIX, divided, (shows its subject as) a wife who has lost her (carriage-)screen. There is no occasion to go in pursuit of it. In seven days she will find it.
Lijn 3
The third NINE, undivided, (suggests the case of) Kâo Žung, who attacked the Demon region, but was three years in subduing it. Small men should not be employed (in such enterprises).
Lijn 4
The fourth SIX, divided, shows its subject with rags provided against any leak (in his boat), and on his guard all day long.
Lijn 5
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject (as) the neighbour in the east who slaughters an ox (for his sacrifice); but this is not equal to the (small) spring sacrifice of the neighbour in the west, whose sincerity receives the blessing.
Lijn 6
The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject with (even) his head immersed. The position is perilous.
