Hexagram 43 · 夬 guài
Decisive Break · line 3
九三：壯于頄，有凶。君子夬夬，獨行遇雨，若濡有慍，无咎。
The third line, undivided, shows its subject (about to advance) with strong (and determined) looks. There will be evil. (But) the superior man, bent on cutting off (the criminal), will walk alone and encounter the rain, (till he be hated by his proper associates) as if he were contaminated (by the others). (In the end) there will be no blame against him.
James Legge, 1882
Hexagram 43 Decisive Break · Judgement
夬：揚于王庭，孚號有厲。告自邑，不利即戎，利有攸往。
Kwâi requires (in him who would fulfil its meaning) the exhibition (of the culprit's guilt) in the royal court, and a sincere and earnest appeal (for sympathy and support), with a consciousness of the peril (involved in cutting off the criminal). He should (also) make announcement in his own city, and show that it will not be well to have recourse at once to arms. (In this way) there will be advantage in whatever he shall go forward to.
James Legge, 1882
