Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

What is the fortune after misfortune? And what is poison saying to me?
and received a response of:
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 second line:
Waiting in the sand.
The small will talk.
At last, good fortune.
The fifth line:
Waiting with wine and food.
Pure fortune.
The sixth line:
Entering into a cave and
finding uninvited strangers.
Three people come. Honor them
and in the end there will be good fortune.
52 Stilling
The Statement of the second hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
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
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
