The changing lines of hexagram 14
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 无交害，匪咎，艱則无咎。 | In the first line, undivided, there is no approach to what is injurious, and there is no error. Let there be a realisation of the difficulty (and danger of the position), and there will be no error (to the end). |
| 2 | 大轝以載，有攸往，无咎。 | In the second line, undivided, we have a large waggon with its load. In whatever direction advance is made, there will be no error. |
| 5 | 厥孚交如，威如；吉。 | The fifth line, divided, shows the sincerity of its subject reciprocated by that of all the others (represented in the hexagram). Let him display a proper majesty, and there will be good fortune. |
