| Shih Ho, biting through | Cho'^e'n, the arousing (shock, thunder) |
|
The Judment
Biting Through has success.
It is favorable to let justice be administered.
The Image
Thunder and lightning:
The image of Biting Through.
Thus the kings of former times made firm the laws
Through clearly defined penalties. | The Judgement
Shock brings success.
Shock comes (oh, oh!)
Laughing words (ha, ha!)
The shock terrifies for a hundred miles,
And he does not let fall the sacrificial spoon and chalice.
The Image
Thunder repeated: the image of Shock.
Thus in fear and trembling
The superior man sets his life in order
And examines himself.
