The Judgement

 The Family. The perseverance of the woman furthers.

The Image

 Wind comes forth from fire:
 The Image of the Family.
 Thus the superior man has substance in his words
 And duration in his way of life.

Changing Lines

 Changing yang at the bottom means:
 Firm seclusion within the family.
 Remorse disappears.

 Changing yin in the second place means:
 She should not follow her whims.
 She must attend within to the food.
 Perseverance brings good fortune.

 Changing yang in the third place means:
 When tempers flare up in the family,
 Too great severity brings remorse.
 Good fortune nonetheless.
 When woman and child dally and laugh,
 It leads in the end to humiliation.

 Changing yin in the fourth place means:
 She is the treasure of the house.
 Great good fortune.

 Changing yang in the fifth place means:
 As a king he approaches his family.
 Fear not.
 Good fortune.

 Changing yang at the top means:
 His work commands respect.
 In the end good fortune comes.
