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.
The second line:
Unable to win the dispute. Return,

and so flee his realm

of three hundred households.

No blunders.
The sixth line:
One may be awarded a belt of high rank,

but by morning's end,

it will have been stripped away three times.

17 Following

The Statement of the second hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.
 
 

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

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
