On the earth is water:
the image of Holding Together.
Thus the kings of antiquity bestowed
the different states as fiefs
and cultivated friendly relations with the feudal lords.
Judgement:
Holding Together brings good fortune.
Inquire of the oracle once again
whether you possess sublimity,
constancy, and perseverance;
then there is no blame.
Those who are uncertain gradually join.
Whoever comes too late meets with misfortune.
