The changing lines of hexagram 58
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 來兌，凶。 | The third line, divided, shows its subject bringing round himself whatever can give pleasure. There will be evil. |
| 4 | 商兌，未寧，介疾有喜。 | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject deliberating about what to seek his pleasure in, and not at rest. He borders on what would be injurious, but there will be cause for joy. |
| 5 | 孚于剝，有厲。 | The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject trusting in one who would injure him. The situation is perilous. |
