64 Not Yet Across

The Statement of the second hexagram

Not yet across. Continue.

The young fox, nearly across,

soaks its tail.

No place is gainful.

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and

Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
