16 Delight

The Statement of the first hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.

The changing lines

The second line:
Upright like a rock in character.
In less than a day
one shows that purity.
Fortune.
The fifth line:
Firm illness persists,
but there is no death.

47 Distress

The Statement of the second hexagram

Distress. Continue.
For a pure and great person: fortune.
No fault. What is said is not trusted.
 
 

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

A lake without water:
distress. The noble one
devotes her life
to fulfill her will.
