The Judgment

The Six Moving Lines

• Nine in the second placeThe abyss is dangerous; one should strive to attain small things only.九二：坎有险，求小得。
• Six in the third placeBefore and behind one are precipices; water is a precipice; do not enter a pit; use only the small.六三：来之坎坎，险且枕，入于坎窞，勿用。
• Six in the fourth placeA jug of wine, a bowl of rice with earthen vessels; offer them through the window; in the end no blame.六四：樽酒簋贰，用缶，纳约自牖，终无咎。
• Nine in the fifth placeSimple, sincere; nothing furthers but with discipline.九五：坎不盈，祗既平，无咎。
• Six at the topBound with cords and ropes, shut in between thorn-hedged prison walls; for three years one does not find the way; misfortune.上六：系用徽纆，寘于丛棘，三岁不得，凶。
