64 Not Yet Across

The Statement of the first hexagram

Not yet across. Continue.

The young fox, nearly across,

soaks its tail.

No place is gainful.

The changing lines

The first line:
Flooding his tail. Sorrow.
The second line:
Pulls his wheels.

Pure fortune.
The sixth line:
There is confidence in drinking wine.

No fault. Flooding one's head.

Have confidence in a vow.

51 Thunder

The Statement of the second hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
