Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what may I from?
and received a response of:
12 Clogging
The Statement of the first hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The changing lines
The second line:
Wrapped in flattery, the vile prosper.
Great people are clogged. Continue.
The third line:
Wrapped in shame.
The sixth line:
Clogging overturned.
First there was clogging.
Later all will be glad.
28 Great Excess
The Statement of the second hexagram
The ridgepole sags.
Gain by having a place to go.
Continue.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
The Image of the second hexagram
The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
