Mountain over lake: the lake below gives to the mountain. Decrease now, gain later.
Judgment
損：有孚，元吉，無咎，可貞，利有攸往，曷之用，二簋可用享。
Decrease combined with sincerity brings supreme good fortune without blame; one may persevere; it furthers one to undertake something. How is this to be carried out? Two small bowls may be used for the sacrifice. Sincerity matters more than abundance.
