33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the first hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
A fitting withdrawal.
For the wise one, fortune.
For the inferior one, evil.
The fifth line:
An excellent withdrawal.
Pure fortune.
The sixth line:
Wealth withdrawn.
Nothing but gain.
15 Humility
The Statement of the second hexagram
Humility imbues.
The noble one gets completion.
The Image of the first hexagram
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
The Image of the second hexagram
Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
