33 Withdrawal

The Statement of the first hexagram

Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.

The changing lines

The second line:
Hold using yellow ox hide,
but do not declare victory.
The fourth line:
A fitting withdrawal.
For the wise one, fortune.
For the inferior one, evil.
The sixth line:
Wealth withdrawn.
Nothing but gain.

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

A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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