10 Walking

The Statement of the first hexagram

Walking on a tiger's tail:

it does not bite.

Continue.

The changing lines

The first line:
Walking forward in austerity

is without blame.
The second line:
Walking the calm and level Way.

The recluse is pure. Fortune.
The third line:
The one-eyed can see. The lame can walk.

But they walk on the tiger's tail

and are bitten. Misfortune

when a warrior shams as a prince.
The fifth line:
Decisive walking,

pure and stern.
The sixth line:
Look how you walk.

Look into what will be favorable.

Oh, turn toward great fortune!

62 Small Crossing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.

Small matters can be done,

but not large matters.

Flying birds leave their sound:

it is unsuitable to go high-

the suitable is below.

Great fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven above, lake below:
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
