Decrease combined with sincerity
Brings about supreme good fortune
Without blame.
One may be persevering in this.
It furthers one to undertake something.
How is this to be carried out?
One may use two small bowls for the sacrifice.

At the foot of the mountain, the lake:
The image of Decrease.
Thus someone superior controls their anger
And restrains their instincts.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yang Opening

⇢
Going quickly when one's tasks are finished
Is without blame.
But one must reflect on how much one may decrease others.

Line 2: Yang Opening

⇢
Perseverance furthers.
To undertake something brings misfortune.
Without decreasing oneself,
One is able to bring increase to others.

Line 3: Yin Firming

⇢
When three people journey together,
Their number decreases by one.
When one  journeys alone,
One finds a companion.

Line 4: Yin Firming

⇢
If one decreases one's faults,
It makes the other hasten to come and rejoice.
No blame.

Line 5: Yin Firming

⇢
Someone does indeed increase one.
Ten pairs of tortoises cannot oppose it.
Supreme good fortune.

Line 6: Yang Opening

⇢
If one is increased without depriving others,
There is no blame.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
It furthers one to undertake something.
One obtains servants
But no longer has a separate home.
