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 fifth line:
An innocent and naive youth:

fortunate.
The sixth line:
Nothing is gained by beating a youth.

That is the way to treat raiders.

We gain by preventing misdeeds.

29 Pit

The Statement of the second hexagram

Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.
Action brings honor.
 
 

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

Flowing water comes:
repeated pits.
The noble one moves
with constant virtue, and
repeatedly teaches
the critical matters.
