Gain by a wise one's purity.
The changing lines
The second line:
The kindred in the ancestral temple.
Remorse.
The sixth line:
The kindred at the countryside sacrifice.
No regrets.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.

The Image of the first hexagram
Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
