Translated from Richard Wilhelm's German (1924)
The Judgment
Obstruction. The southwest is favorable.
The northeast is not favorable.
It is favorable to see the great person.
Persistence brings good fortune.
The Image
Water lies on the mountain: the image of obstruction.
So the noble one turns to their own self
and shapes their character.
First line, six
Going leads into obstruction, coming meets with praise.
Second line, six
The king's servant is caught in obstruction upon obstruction.
But it is not their own fault.
Third line, nine
Going leads into obstructions; so one comes back.
Fourth line, six
Going leads into obstructions,
coming leads to union.
Fifth line, nine
When the obstructions are at their greatest, friends come.
Top line, six
Going leads into obstructions,
coming brings great good fortune.
It is favorable to see the great person.
