27 Nourishing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Nourishing. Pure fortune.

Watch the jaws

and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.

The changing lines

The first line:
You put aside your divine turtle

And watch my moving jaws: misfortune.
The fifth line:
Disobeying the right ways:

dwelling instead in virtue brings fortune.

Do not advance across the great river.
The sixth line:
Through nourishment

in severity comes fortune.

Advance across the great river.

8 Joining

The Statement of the second hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
