Hexagram 51 · 震 zhèn
Shock · line 6
上六：震索索，視矍矍，征凶。震不于其躬，于其鄰，无咎。婚媾有言。
The topmost line, divided, shows its subject, amidst the startling movements (of the time), in breathless dismay and looking round him with trembling apprehension. If he take action, there will be evil. If, while the startling movements have not reached his own person and his neighbourhood, (he were to take precautions), there would be no error, though his relatives might (still) speak against him.
James Legge, 1882
Hexagram 51 Shock · Judgement
震：亨。震來虩虩，笑言啞啞，震驚百里，不喪匕鬯。
Kăn gives the intimation of ease and development. When (the time of) movement (which it indicates) comes, (the subject of the hexagram) will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement (like a crash of thunder) terrifies all within a hundred li, he will be (like the sincere worshipper) who is not (startled into) letting go his ladle and (cup of) sacrificial spirits.
James Legge, 1882
