What will happen, if I carry on with the job in Salamina and refuse the new job offer in Athens?
and received a response of:
48 Well
The Statement of the first hexagram
Well. A city may change,
but the well does not.
It does not lose, it does not gain.
In spite of all who come and go from a well,
it remains a well.
But if the rope cannot reach,
or if the well's vase is upended:_
misfortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
The well bottom gushes carp.
A broken jug leaks.
The third line:
The well is dredged, but no one drinks.
My heart is anguished. Water
could be drawn. If the king understood,
we would instantly receive happiness.
The fifth line:
The well of a clear cold spring: drink.
2 Earth
The Statement of the second hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
The Image of the second hexagram
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
