The Statement of the second hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.

but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.

Continuous thunder

The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
