    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    Do not mix with the harmful

A pattern of difficulty, but no fault.

    His sincerity in meeting 
leads to majesty and fortune.  
  
    The sixth line:
    Divine help from heaven. 
Fortune. Nothing but gain.

    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Fire in heaven:
great holdings. 
The noble one 
curbs evil and fosters good, 
and is favored 
with heaven's blessings 
and commands.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    The lake overwhelms 
the trees: great excess. 
The noble one stands alone 
without fear, 
and can withdraw 
from the world 
without sorrow.
