    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 fifth line:
    The amaranth mound decisively cleared: 
the middle way is without fault.  
  
    The sixth line:
    No signals: 
the end will be misfortune.
