    6 Dispute
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Dispute: keep confident
even if blocked and alarmed. 
In the middle, good fortune,
but in the end, misfortune. 
Gain by seeing a great person. 
Do not advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    Do not prolong this case. 
The petty control all the talk. 
In the end: fortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    10 Walking
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Walking on a tiger's tail:
it does not bite.
Continue.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven and water clash: 
dispute. The noble one 
devises the right beginning 
in all matters.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Heaven above, lake below: 
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
