43 Decisiveness

The Statement of the first 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 changing lines

The first line:
Strong in the feet:

Going forward, there will be no triumph

due to mistakes.
The third line:
Strong in the cheekbones: misfortune.

The noble one is resolute, but walks alone-

soaked by rain, angry,

with no one to blame.

47 Distress

The Statement of the second hexagram

Distress. Continue.
For a pure and great person: fortune.
No fault. What is said is not trusted.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A lake without water:
distress. The noble one
devotes her life
to fulfill her will.
