29 Pit

The Statement of the first hexagram

Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.
Action brings honor.

The changing lines

The first line:
Pit within a pit.
Entering an underground vault:
misfortune.
The third line:
Drumbeats come: stuck in danger.
Entering the underground vault
will be of no use.
The fourth line:
A bottle of wine, a bamboo basket,
and two earthenware vessels offered simply
through a window. In the end, no fault.
The fifth line:
The pit is not yet flooded to the brim.
No fault.

repeatedly teaches
the critical matters.

Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.
