Step by Step · line 3

九三：鴻漸于陸，夫征不復，婦孕不育，凶，利禦寇。

(It suggests also the idea of) a husband who goes on an expedition from which he does not return, and of a wife who is pregnant, but will not nourish her child. There will be evil. (The case symbolised) might be advantageous in resisting plunderers.

James Legge, 1882
