Act on decree - no blame.

Act on the mandate of heaven—no blame. The multitude will follow and receive blessing.

Standstill ends - great person brings fortune.

Overthrow standstill - first bad, then joy.

Overthrow the standstill. First standstill, then joy—when things reach their extreme, they reverse.
