Hexagram 38 睽, Line 1
睽
Hexagram 38 · first line, undivided (nine)
悔亡，喪馬勿逐，自復；見惡人无咎。
The first line, undivided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him not seek for them;—they will return of themselves. Should he meet with bad men, he will not err (in communicating with them).
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
見惡人，以辟咎也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 38 becomes hexagram 64.
