10 Walking

The Statement of the first hexagram

Walking on a tiger's tail:

it does not bite.

Continue.

The changing lines

The third line:
The one-eyed can see. The lame can walk.

But they walk on the tiger's tail

and are bitten. Misfortune

when a warrior shams as a prince.
The sixth line:
Look how you walk.

Look into what will be favorable.

Oh, turn toward great fortune!

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.

There is no gain in going to war.

Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven above, lake below:
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
 
 

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.
