The Abysmal repeated.
If you are sincere, you have success in your heart,
And whatever you do succeeds.

Water flows on uninterruptedly and reaches its goal:
The image of the Abysmal repeated.
Thus the superior one walks in lasting virtue
And carries on the business of teaching.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yin Firming

⇢
Repetition of the Abysmal.
In the abyss one falls into a pit.
Misfortune.

Line 2: Yang Opening

⇢
The abyss is dangerous.
One should strive to attain small things only.

Line 3: Yin Firming

⇢
Forward and backward, abyss on abyss.
In danger like this, pause at first and wait,
Otherwise you will fall into a pit in the abyss.
Do not act in this way.

Line 4: Yin Firming

⇢
A jug of wine, a bowl of rice with it;
Earthen vessels
Simply handed in through the window.
There is certainly no blame in this.

Line 5: Yang Opening

⇢
The abyss is not filled to overflowing,
It is filled only to the rim.
No blame.

Line 6: Yin Firming

⇢
Bound with cords and ropes,
Shut in between thorn-hedged prison walls:
For three years one does not find the way.
Misfortune.
