Hexagram 7 · 師 shī

Troops · line 5

六五:田有禽,利執言,无咎。長子帥師,弟子輿尸,貞凶。

The fifth line, divided, shows birds in the fields, which it will be advantageous to seize (and destroy). In that case there will be no error. If the oldest son leads the host, and younger men (idly occupy offices assigned to them), however firm and correct he may be, there will be evil.

James Legge, 1882
