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 second line:
With jerking jaws, you disobey

the right ways. Find nourishment

in the nearby hills

instead of journeying far away.
The fourth line:
Moving jaws are fortunate.

Like a glaring tiger, passion runs full,

but there is no fault.
The sixth line:
Through nourishment

in severity comes fortune.

Advance across the great river.

40 Releasing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
 
 

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

Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
