Classical Interpretation
Deliverance (40) signifies relaxation.
The image
Thunder and rain rise: the image of deliverance. Thus the superior man forgives mistakes and misdeeds.
The judgement
deliverance. The south west furthers. If there is nothing to return to, then coming back brings good fortune. If there is still something to return to, then swiftness brings good fortune.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
