WHo is my true friend?
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 sixth line:
Dark delight succeeds.
Have a change of mind
and there will be no fault.
21 Biting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Biting. Penetrate.
Gain by prosecuting.
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
Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
