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 third line:
Distressed by rock, seized in thistles.
Entering into his palace, not seeing his wife.
Misfortune.

The fifth line:
Hacking off noses, hacking off feet. Distressed
by vermillion sashes.
Then, slowly, there is talk.
Gain by making offerings and sacrifices.

The sixth line:
Distressed by vines and creepers.
With anxious speech and acts, one repents.
Repent and go forward to fortune.

56 Traveler

The Statement of the second hexagram

Traveler. Slight progress.
Be steadfast in travel: fortune.

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

Fire on the mountain:
traveler. The noble one is
clear-minded and cautious
in meting out punishment
and yet does not delay trial.
