The Judgment
Abundance has success. The king attains it. Be not sad. Be like the sun at midday.
The Image
Thunder and lightning come both together: the image of Abundance. Thus the superior man decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.
Meaning
Fullness, culmination, a moment of grandeur. The sun is at its zenith. The moment is at its peak—make the most of it, yet knowing that decline will follow.

Line 4

Line 6 (top)
