Hexagram 43 · 夬 guài
Decisive Break · line 5
九五:莧陸夬夬,中行无咎。
The fifth line, undivided, shows (the small men like) a bed of purslain, which ought to be uprooted with the utmost determination. (The subject of the line having such determination), his action, in harmony with his central position, will lead to no error or blame.
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
