38 Estrangement

The Statement of the first hexagram

Estrangement.

In small matters: fortune.

The changing lines

The third line:
Seeing the wagon dragged back, his oxen

taken, his men's hair and noses cut off.

Not a beginning, but an ending.
The fourth line:
Estranged, one meets the main person.

A trustworthy exchange.

Severity is without fault.
The sixth line:
Strange sights: a pig shouldering mud,

a cartload of ghosts. One first draws a bow,

then lowers it. No raider- a groom. Go.

Meet the rain, and with it, fortune.

11 Prospering

The Statement of the second hexagram

Prospering: the vile goes,

the great comes.

Fortune. Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven and earth combine:
prospering.
The empress uses wealth
to fulfill the way
of heaven and earth.
She supports the order
of heaven and earth for
people on all sides.
