The Judgement

 Keeping Still. Keeping his back still
 So that he no longer feels his body.
 He goes into his courtyard
 And does not see his people.
 No blame.

The Image

 Mountains standing close together:
 The Image of Keeping Still.
 Thus the superior man
 Does not permit his thoughts
 To go beyond his situation.

Changing Lines

 Changing yin at the bottom means:
 Keeping his toes still.
 No blame.
 Continued perseverance furthers.

 Changing yin in the second place means:
 Keeping his calves still.
 He cannot rescue him whom he follows.
 His heart is not glad.

 Changing yang in the third place means:
 Keeping his hips still.
 Making his sacrum stiff.
 Dangerous. The heart suffocates.

 Changing yin in the fourth place means:
 Keeping his trunk still.
 No blame.

 Changing yin in the fifth place means:
 Keeping his jaws still.
 The words have order.
 Remorse disappears.

 Changing yang at the top means:
 Noblehearted keeping still.
 Good fortune.
