Translated from Richard Wilhelm's German (1924)
The Judgment
Success. No fault.
Persistence is favorable.
It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
The Image
Thunder and wind: the image of duration.
So the noble one stands firm and does not change direction.
First line, six
Wanting duration too quickly brings persistent misfortune.
Nothing that would be favorable.
Second line, nine
Regret vanishes.
Third line, nine
Whoever does not give their character duration
is offered disgrace.
Persistent shame.
Fourth line, nine
There is no game in the field.
Fifth line, six
Giving one's character duration through persistence
is good fortune for a wife, misfortune for a husband.
Top line, six
Restlessness as a lasting state brings misfortune.
