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 third line:
Jaws shake in opposition. Persistence

will bring misfortune. For ten years,

all will be useless and no place

will bring gain.
The fourth line:
Moving jaws are fortunate.

Like a glaring tiger, passion runs full,

but there is no fault.
The fifth line:
Disobeying the right ways:

dwelling instead in virtue brings fortune.

Do not advance across the great river.

33 Withdrawal

The Statement of the second hexagram

Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
 
 

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

A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
