16 Delight

The Statement of the first hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.

The changing lines

The third line:
Wide-eyed delight is regrettable.
If you are late
you will have regrets.
The fourth line:
Through delight, the great attains.
Do not doubt it! Friends gather
like hair in a clasp.

15 Humility

The Statement of the second hexagram

Humility imbues.

The noble one gets completion.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
