    15 Humility
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Humility imbues. 
The noble one gets completion.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    So humble is the noble one 
who crosses the great river. 
Fortune.  
  
    The sixth line:
    Singing humility.
Gain by moving armies. 
Conquer city and state.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    22 Adornment
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first 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.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Fire at the foot 
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby 
governs with clarity, and 
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
