12 Clogging

The Statement of the first hexagram

Clogging by wicked people.

Nothing to be gained,

even from a steadfast prince.

The great goes, the vile comes.

The changing lines

The second line:
Wrapped in flattery, the vile prosper.

Great people are clogged. Continue.
The fourth line:
Commands without fault,

fields divided: blessings.

59 Spreading

The Statement of the second hexagram

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
