Hexagram 6 · 訟 sòng
Dispute · line 1
初六：不永所事，小有言，終吉。
The first line, divided, shows its subject not perpetuating the matter about which (the contention is). He will suffer the small (injury) of being spoken against, but the end will be fortunate.
James Legge, 1882
Hexagram 6 Dispute · Judgement
訟：有孚，窒惕，中吉，終凶。利見大人，不利涉大川。
Sung intimates how, though there is sincerity in one's contention, he will yet meet with opposition and obstruction; but if he cherish an apprehensive caution, there will be good fortune, while, if he must prosecute the contention to the (bitter) end, there will be evil. It will be advantageous to see the great man; it will not be advantageous to cross the great stream.
James Legge, 1882
