䷪ 澤天夬

壯于前趾，往不勝為咎。

象曰：不勝而往，咎也。

Strength in the toes and rushing ahead: going forward without being equal to it, and the fault becomes one's own.

惕號，莫夜有戎，勿恤。

象曰：莫夜有戎，得中道也。

A cry of alarm and vigilance. Even if arms come in the night, there is no need for fear — being prepared, there is no trouble.

壯于頄，有凶。君子夬夬，獨行遇雨，若濡有慍，无咎。

象曰：君子夬夬，終无咎也。

Strength showing in the cheekbones, anger written on the face: misfortune. The superior person resolves against the petty; walking alone he meets rain and is drenched, and though others are vexed, in the end there is no blame.

臀无膚，其行次且。牽羊悔亡，聞言不信。

象曰：其行次且，位不當也。聞言不信，聰不明也。

The flesh of the thigh worn away and the walking painful. Follow along with others as one leads a sheep and regret can vanish — but the words are heard and not believed.

莧陸夬夬，中行无咎。

象曰：中行无咎，中未光也。

Clearing away the petty with the decisiveness of cutting down purslane, walking the middle way. No blame.

无號，終有凶。

象曰：无號之凶，終不可長也。

There is no one left to call to for help — the petty stand isolated. In the end, misfortune.
