The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cushion of white grass.

No fault.
The fourth line:
An ample beam. Fortunate,

unless there has been stinting.
The fifth line:
Withered wood blooms with flowers.

An old woman takes a husband.

Neither fault nor praise.

11 Prospering

The Statement of the second hexagram

Prospering: the vile goes,

the great comes.

Fortune. Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

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.
