64 Not Yet Across

The Statement of the first hexagram

Not yet across. Continue.

The young fox, nearly across,

soaks its tail.

No place is gainful.

The changing lines

The third line:
Not yet across. Attacking: misfortune.

Gain by crossing the great river.
The fourth line:
Pure fortune. Regrets vanish. Terrifyingly

attack the Gui Fang. In three years,

there will be rewards in a great country.

Pure fortune. No regrets.
The fifth line:
The prince's brilliance has sincerity.

Fortune.
The sixth line:
There is confidence in drinking wine.

No fault. Flooding one's head.

Have confidence in a vow.

48 Well

The Statement of the second hexagram

Well. A city may change,

but the well does not.

It does not lose, it does not gain.

In spite of all who come and go from a well,

it remains a well.

But if the rope cannot reach,

or if the well's vase is upended:_

misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
