and received a response of:
47 Distress
The Statement of the first hexagram
Distress. Continue.
For a pure and great person: fortune.
No fault. What is said is not trusted.
The changing lines
The second line:
Distressed with wine and food.
Vermilion sashes come from all directions.
Gain by making offerings and worshipping.
Going: misfortune. No fault.
The fifth line:
Hacking off noses, hacking off feet. Distressed
by vermillion sashes.
Then, slowly, there is talk.
Gain by making offerings and sacrifices.
16 Delight
The Statement of the second hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The Image of the first hexagram
A lake without water:
distress. The noble one
devotes her life
to fulfill her will.
The Image of the second 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.
