| | 唐: |
初一，唐于内，勿作，厉。测曰，“唐于内”、无执守也。 |

|

次二，唐处冥，利用东征。测曰，“唐冥”之“利”、利明道也。 |
| | Second, Tang resides in darkness; it is advantageous to launch an eastern expedition. The commentary says: The "advantage" of "Tang Ming"—is the advantage of clarifying the Dao.
|
| | 唐: |
次三，唐素不贞，亡彼珑玲。测曰，“亡彼珑玲”、非尔所也。 |
| | Third, Tang is not inherently loyal; he loses his position as Longling. The commentary says: "Losing the position of Longling"—is not something that belongs to you.
|
| | 唐: |
次四，唐无适，道义之辟。测曰，“唐无适”、惟义予也。 |

| | 唐: |
次五，奔鹿怀鼷，得不訾。测曰，“奔鹿怀鼷”、奚足功也。 |

| | 唐: |
次六，唐不独足，代天班禄。测曰，“唐不独足”、无私容也。 |

|
| | 唐: |
次七，弋彼三飞，明明于征，终日不归，亡。测曰，“弋彼三飞”、适无所从也。 |

|
| | 唐: |
次八，唐收禄，社鬼辍哭，或得其沐。测曰，“唐收禄”、复亡也。 |
| | Eighth, Tang receives blessings; the ancestral spirits cease their weeping, and someone gains a bath of favor. The commentary says: "Tang receiving blessings"—means returning from loss.
|
| | 唐: |
上九，明珠弹于飞肉，其得不复。测曰，“明珠弹肉”、费不当也。 |
| | Top Nine, a pearl is used to shoot flying flesh; what is gained cannot be regained. The commentary says: "Using a pearl to shoot meat"—is an act of wastefulness that is inappropriate.
