Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

What does my meat future hold for me?
and received a response of:
20 Beholding
The Statement of the first hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The changing lines
The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong
for a common person, but it is wrong
for a superior person.
The second line:
Spying and peeping:
far better to have a woman's purity.
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:
the wise person rids herself of faults.
The sixth line:
In beholding others' lives
the wise person allows no faults.
19 Arrival
The Statement of the second hexagram
The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
The Image of the second hexagram
Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
