Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what if i seek my bag through digital writing?
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 third line:
Wrapped in shame.
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the second hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
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
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
