Hexagram 47 — 困 (Kùn), Oppression / Exhaustion
Above: ☱ 兑 Lake Below: ☵ 坎 Water
The Judgment
亨，贞，大人吉，无咎。有言不信。
Confinement — the great person stays serene and finds the way through; words carry no credit now, so let action speak.
The Image (Daxiang)
「泽无水，困；君子以致命遂志。」The lake drained of water — the noble person stakes life itself to fulfill his aim.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：困，刚揜也。险以说，困而不失其所亨，其唯君子乎！贞大人吉，以刚中也。有言不信，尚口乃穷也。——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms
Exhausted — stay serene, act quietly, don't argue. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
