The changing lines of hexagram 10
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 素履，往无咎。 | The first line, undivided, shows its subject treading his accustomed path. If he go forward, there will be no error. |
| 2 | 履道坦坦，幽人貞吉。 | The second line, undivided, shows its subject treading the path that is level and easy;—a quiet and solitary man, to whom, if he be firm and correct, there will be good fortune. |
| 5 | 夬履，貞厲。 | The fifth line, undivided, shows the resolute tread of its subject. Though he be firm and correct, there will be peril. |
