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 sixth line:
Tied and entangled. Thrown in brambles.
For three years, nothing can be won.
Misfortune.

42 Increase

The Statement of the second hexagram

Increase. Gain by having a place to go.

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

Wind and thunder:
increase. The noble one
sees perfection
and shifts to fit its pattern,
and corrects his own faults.
