4 Youth

The Statement of the first hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

The changing lines

The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman

who loses herself when she sees

a golden man.

18 Poison

The Statement of the second hexagram

Poison brings the great continuing.
Advance across the great river.
Before starting: three days.
After starting: three days.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind below the mountain:
poison. The noble one
stirs the people
and nourishes virtue.
