Stop reading, stop looking for answers in books?
and received a response of:
13 Kindred
The Statement of the first hexagram
The kindred in the wilderness.
Continue.
Advance across the great river.
Gain by a wise one's purity.
The changing lines
The third line:
Armed and lying in ambush
under the thicket. Looming above
is their high mound.
For three years, there is no rising.
The fifth line:
The kindred first wail and yet later laugh:
great armies are able to meet.
21 Biting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Biting. Penetrate.
Gain by prosecuting.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
