The changing lines of hexagram 14
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 公用亨于天子，小人弗克。 | The third line, undivided, shows us a feudal prince presenting his offerings to the Son of Heaven. A small man would be unequal (to such a duty). |
| 4 | 匪其尫，无咎。 | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject keeping his great resources under restraint. 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. |
