Classical Interpretation
Waiting (05) means »not to progress«.
The image
Clouds raise up to heaven: the image of waiting. Thus the superior man eats and drinks, and is cheerful and merry.
The judgement
The waiting. If you are truthful, you will have light and success. Perseverance brings good fortune. It furthers to cross the great water.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
