4 Youth

The Statement of the first hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

The changing lines

The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman

who loses herself when she sees

a golden man.
The fourth line:
A distressed and naive youth:

sorrow.
The sixth line:
Nothing is gained by beating a youth.

That is the way to treat raiders.

We gain by preventing misdeeds.

32 Constancy

The Statement of the second hexagram

Constancy is to continue

without fault.

Gain through purity.

Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder and wind:
constancy.
The noble one stands
without changing direction.
