上九:有孚于飲酒,无咎,濡其首,有孚失是。
The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject full of confidence and therefore feasting (quietly). There will be no error. (If he) cherish this confidence, till he (is like the fox who) gets his head immersed, it will fail of what is right.
James Legge, 1882
Hexagram 64 Not Yet Across · Judgement
未濟:亨,小狐汔濟,濡其尾,无攸利。
Wei Zî intimates progress and success (in the circumstances which it implies). (We see) a young fox that has nearly crossed (the stream), when its tail gets immersed. There will be no advantage in any way.
James Legge, 1882
