Hexagram 6 · 訟 sòng
Dispute · line 3
六三:食舊德,貞厲,終吉。或從王事,无成。
The third line, divided, shows its subject keeping in the old place assigned for his support, and firmly correct. Perilous as the position is, there will be good fortune in the end. Should he perchance engage in the king's business, he will not (claim the merit of) achievement.
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
