45 Collecting

The Statement of the first hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
A trust that cannot reach conclusion:
there is confusion, there is collecting amid commands.
One grasps for smiling results-no help.
Depart without fault.
The second line:
Led by fortune. No fault.
Trust the gain of the summer sacrifice.
The third line:
Collecting like sighs of regret.
No place is gainful.
Depart without fault. Slight regret.

43 Decisiveness

The Statement of the second 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 Image of the first hexagram

Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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