55 Plentiful

The Statement of the first hexagram

Plentiful. Progress.

The great king arrives. Do not grieve.

All is right as the midday sun.

The changing lines

The first line:
Meeting one's suitable lord.

In spite of sameness, no fault.

Going has honor.
The third line:
Plentiful flow.

Seeing darkness at noon.

Breaking one's right forearm. No fault.
The fifth line:
Receiving the seal.

There are congratulations and praise.

Fortune.
The sixth line:
Plentiful activity in one's house, screened

is one's household. Peering through

one's door: quiet with no people near.

For three years no one visits. Misfortune.

12 Clogging

The Statement of the second hexagram

Clogging by wicked people.

Nothing to be gained,

even from a steadfast prince.

The great goes, the vile comes.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
