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

Must I stop the activities?
and received a response of:
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 second line:
With jerking jaws, you disobey
the right ways. Find nourishment
in the nearby hills
instead of journeying far away.
The fourth line:
Moving jaws are fortunate.
Like a glaring tiger, passion runs full,
but there is no fault.
64 Not Yet Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Not yet across. Continue.
The young fox, nearly across,
soaks its tail.
No place is gainful.
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
Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
