Abundance (55) signifies many of occasions.
The image
Thunder and lightning come both: the image of abundance. Thus the superior man decides litigations and executes punishments.

Abundance has success. The king attains it. Do not be sad; you have to be like the sun at noon.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
