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 third line:
Drumbeats come: stuck in danger.
Entering the underground vault
will be of no use.
The fifth line:
The pit is not yet flooded to the brim.
No fault.
The sixth line:
Tied and entangled. Thrown in brambles.
For three years, nothing can be won.
Misfortune.

26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
 
 

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

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
