The changing lines of hexagram 33
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 係遯，有疾厲，畜臣妾吉。 | The third line, undivided, shows one retiring but bound,—to his distress and peril. (If he were to deal with his binders as in) nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him. |
| 5 | 嘉遯，貞吉。 | The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in an admirable way. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. |
| 6 | 肥遯，无不利。 | The sixth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect. |
