1
There is trust but it does not endure; now disorder, now gathering. As if wailing, then a single grasp becomes laughter. Do not worry; going brings no blame.
2
Drawing is auspicious, no blame; with trust, a simplified sacrifice then becomes advantageous.
3
Gathering-like, sighing-like; nothing is advantageous. Going brings no blame, a small constriction.
5
Gathering has a position, no blame. Not trusted; great enduring steadfastness, regret vanishes.

Ancient Comments on the Judgment
Gathering is assembling; following and joy, strength in the center and responding, therefore it assembles. The king goes to the temple to achieve filial offerings. Advantageous to see the eminent person, flourishing: assembling according to what is correct. Using large sacrifices is auspicious, advantageous to have a course to go: following the mandate of Heaven. Observe that which gathers, and the reality of all things in heaven and earth can be seen.
