what can be expected from him about me?
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 first line:
Pulling couch grass
uproots more with it by entwined roots.
Snatch it: fortune. Continue.
The third line:
Wrapped in shame.
The fourth line:
Commands without fault,
fields divided: blessings.
The fifth line:
Clogging ceases. Great people prosper.
It could be lost! It could be lost!
Tie it to the roots of a mulberry tree.
22 Adornment
The Statement of the second hexagram
Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
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
Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
