17 Following

The Statement of the first hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.

The sixth line:
Adhering and binding
to make following hold fast.
The king makes offering
on West Mountain.

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

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
 
 

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.
