why should i hold you to the highest regard?
and received a response of:
16 Delight
The Statement of the first hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The changing lines
The first line:
Crowing delight.
Misfortune.
The fourth line:
Through delight, the great attains.
Do not doubt it! Friends gather
like hair in a clasp.
The fifth line:
Firm illness persists,
but there is no death.
The sixth line:
Dark delight succeeds.
Have a change of mind
and there will be no fault.
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
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
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.
