9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the first hexagram

Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines
The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.

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.
