me with him?
and received a response of:
21 Biting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Biting. Penetrate.
Gain by prosecuting.
The changing lines
The first line:
Feet in fetters, toes cut off:
no fault.
The fourth line:
Biting dry bone.
Winning golden arrows.
Gain through difficulty and stay upright.
Fortune.
The sixth line:
How he is imprisoned in a cangue,
ears destroyed! Misfortune.
2 Earth
The Statement of the second hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
The Image of the second hexagram
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
