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 first line:
While penalties are useful to illuminate

the naive youth, take off the fetters-

to go too far leads to sorrow.
The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman

who loses herself when she sees

a golden man.
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.

5 Waiting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Waiting. Stay confident:

there is light everywhere.

Pure fortune.

Advance across the great river.
 
 

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

Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
