The Lines

Line 1 — Do not perpetuate the affair. Drop it early. Small embarrassment now prevents large destruction later.
九二：不克讼，归而逋，其邑人三百户，无眚。
Line 2 — Cannot engage in conflict. Retreat home. You are outmatched. Going home is intelligence, not defeat.
六三：食旧德，贞厉，终吉。或从王事，无成。
Line 3 — Nourished by ancient virtue. Don't reach for new weapons. Use what you already have.
九四：不克讼，复即命渝，安贞吉。
Line 4 — Return and accept fate. Surrender the position, not the principle.
九五：讼，元吉。
Line 5 — Contending before the great judge. Justice is possible when a fair authority presides.
上九：或锡之鞶带，终朝三褫之。
Line 6 — A leather belt of honor snatched away three times. You won the fight and gained nothing lasting.
