43 Decisiveness

The Statement of the first hexagram

Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.

Trust in the commands. Be stern.

There will be severity.

Announce to your own city.

There is no gain in going to war.

Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The sixth line:
No signals:

the end will be misfortune.

1 Heaven

The Statement of the second hexagram

Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
