29 Pit

The Statement of the first hexagram

Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.
Action brings honor.

The changing lines

The first line:
Pit within a pit.
Entering an underground vault:
misfortune.
The second line:
The pit has dangers.
Inquiries get little.
The fourth line:
A bottle of wine, a bamboo basket,
and two earthenware vessels offered simply
through a window. In the end, no fault.
The sixth line:
Tied and entangled. Thrown in brambles.
For three years, nothing can be won.
Misfortune.

25 Innocence

The Statement of the second hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

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

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
