The Judgement
Standstill. Evil people do not further
The perseverance of the superior man.
The great departs; the small approaches.

The Image
Heaven and earth do not unite:
The image of Standstill.
Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth In order to escape the difficulties.
He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.
