The Statement of the second hexagram

Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.

Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.

did not tour the provinces.

Flowing water comes:
repeated pits.
The noble one moves
with constant virtue, and
repeatedly teaches
the critical matters.
