Treading [Conduct]
creative heaven and joyous lake
the man riding the tiger
is not bitten
heaven and the lake in their rightful place
the superior man knows what is high and low
and so strengthens the people
*
simple conduct, progress, no blame
walking a level course
perseverance brings good fortune
the half-blind see
the lame man walks
the tiger bites the man
this is misfortune
this is the way the warrior acts
the tiger
be cautious and circumspect
this ultimately leads to good fortune
rightful conduct
continue with the awareness of danger
look to your conduct
and weigh the good signs
when this is fulfilled
supreme fortune comes
