madmur1 asked:
wciei i seek to restore friendship?
and received a response of:
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 sixth line:
Nothing is gained by beating a youth.
That is the way to treat raiders.
We gain by preventing misdeeds.
7 Armies
The Statement of the second hexagram
Armies must be steadfast.
With a great leader
they will find fortune.
They must remain without fault.
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
The earth's center
is filled with water.
The noble one supports
the people and cares for
everyone.
