5 Waiting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Waiting. Stay confident:

there is light everywhere.

Pure fortune.

Advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
Waiting in the countryside.

Gain by being steadfast.

Be without fault.
The fourth line:
Waiting in a bloody cave.

Get out!

28 Great Excess

The Statement of the second hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
