Not out of the woods yet!
It is like a person falling into a ditch, but there is not enough water in the ditch to flow out.
If there is so much water in the ditch that it is close to flat ground, people can climb ashore and escape from the ditch and predicament.
Not out of trouble is like the water in a deep ditch is not full and it is not easy to climb to the ground. Because the opportunity has not come yet, you must accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity!)

Hexagra Sequence
Hexagram Note:
Expedition, The Abysmal (Water): Represents danger, adversity, and the unknown. It advises navigating challenges with caution, staying adaptable, and finding opportunity amidst difficulties.
Hexagram 29 – Kǎn (The Abysmal / Water)
Water over Water — Kǎn above Kǎn
Kǎn is water; danger doubled.
Judgment
Kan: Repeated danger.
There is sincerity.
The heart thereby attains smooth penetration.
In action, there is honor.
Commentary on the Judgment (Tuàn)
“Repeated danger” means danger doubled.
Water flows without filling up its banks; it moves through danger without losing its trustworthiness.
“The heart thereby attains smooth penetration” — because firmness is in the center.
“In action there is honor” — because going forth brings achievement.
Heaven has its dangers, which cannot be climbed;
Earth has its dangers — mountains, rivers, hills.
Kings and nobles establish defenses to protect their states.
How great indeed are the uses of danger in their proper time!
Commentary on the Image (Xiàng)
“Water comes again and again”—thus Repeated Danger.
The noble one, seeing this,
practices constancy in conduct
and trains in repeated instruction.
