Trait supérieur nonaire : chaque chose est déjà à sa place ; estimer l'accumulation de vertu ; danger de la pureté chez la femme ; la lune près de son plein ; l'homme doué se met en mouvement, présage malheureux.

  The topmost line, undivided, shows how the rain has fallen, and the (onward progress) is stayed; -(so) must we value the full accumulation of the virtue (represented by the upper trigram). But a wife (exercising restraint), however firm and correct she may be, is in a position of peril, (and like) the moon approaching to the Full. If the superior man prosecute his measures (in such circumstances), there will be evil.
