Chapter 36
Order of God

What is shrunken
a
Must have first been expanded
What is weakened
Must have first been strengthened

b
What is cast down
Must have first been exalted

What is received
c
Must have first been given
d
This is the subtle perception of things

The gentle and yielding overcome the hard and forceful
e
d
Just as fish cannot leave deep waters
So too the inner workings of the Heavenly kingdom
Cannot be revealed to the people
