will 2023 be another year of darkness?
and received a response of:
15 Humility
The Statement of the first hexagram
Humility imbues.
The noble one gets completion.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
Nothing but gain:
modest and humble.
The fifth line:
Not enriched by his neighbors.
Gain by invading and smiting.
Nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Singing humility.
Gain by moving armies.
Conquer city and state.
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the second hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
The Image of the first hexagram
Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
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.
