Oracle Text
Empty, and empty, and empty again—
yet within emptiness success is won;
the immortals' peach ripens once in a thousand years,
and fears no wind at the fifth watch of night.
Interpretation
Great vessels are completed late. For questions of wealth this oracle is inauspicious; for lawsuits, after long-drawn litigation you can win the case.
