"which it supposes). It will be advantageous to use legal constraints."

"1. The first line, undivided, show one with his feet in the stocks "
"and deprived of his toes. There will be no error. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows one biting through the soft flesh, "
"and (going on to) bite off the nose. There will be no error. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows one gnawing dried flesh, and "
"meeting with what is disagreeable. There will be occasion for some "
"small regret, but no (great) error. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows one gnawing the flesh dried on "
"the bone, and getting the pledges of money and arrows. It will be "
"advantageous to him to realize the difficulty of his task and be "
"firm-in which case there will be good fortune. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows one gnawing at dried flesh, and "
"finding the yellow gold. Let him be firm and correct, realising the "
"the peril (of his position). There will be no error. "
" "
"6. The sixth line, undivided, shows one wearing the cangue, and "
"deprived of his ears. There will be evil. "

" relieved by the explosive force of thunder and lightning. In human"
" affairs there must be a clear distinction between the penalties for "
" small and great crimes. Retribution for wrongdoing must be swiftly"
" and surely applied if greater problems are to be prevented."
