Shock from repeated thunder invokes purifying fear
and a reverence and awe of the Creator.

Raised from the depths of the earth...
Shock, manifest by God, gives fear birth.

The Word comes... Joy! ...It shocks them all!
Yet sacrifice, and cup, are not let fall.

Let thunder roll and terror spread.
We face any threat or danger undaunted.

When we learn to use fear as motivation
we can justify reason for joy and celebration.

A profound countenance, from which fear is deflected,
is the spirit that carries the anointed.

For we remain composed, and reverent,
in a spirit that is not hesitant.

51. AROUSING SHOCK: THE LINES...

NINE AT THE BOTTOM:
Shock comes...   "Oh oh!"
Then laughter... "Ha ha!"
"Good for you!"
SIX IN SECOND PLACE:
An upheaval causes losses.
Do not try resistant poses
or fight dangerous forces.
Retreat from the dangers.
You'll recoup your losses.
SIX IN THIRD PLACE:
Shock makes one distraught
spurring action and thought.
In this case it's fortunate!
NINE IN FOURTH PLACE: 
A shocking event will reduce you to immobility. 
This comes about because of befuddled mentality. 
You cannot make progress under this incongruity. 
SIX IN FIFTH PLACE:
Thunder's shock goes hither and thither.
One comes and goes (in midst of danger)
avoiding shock by minding business' order.
SIX AT THE TOP:
At Heavens' thundering sound
shock causes amazed gazin'round.
Persistance brings misfortune down.
When inner shock is at its' height
one loses sense of what is right.
Until composures' return... sit tight...
for neighbors won't heed what's right
and will be with you up-tight
(In such case do not take spite).
