I Ching: Hexagram 23 - The Lines, Part 2

Six in the second place means:
The bed is split at the edge.
Those who persevere are destroyed.
Misfortune.


The power of the inferior people is growing. The danger draws close to one's person; already there are clear indication, and rest is disturbed. Moreover, in this dangerous situation one is as yet without help or friendly advances from above or below. Extreme caution is necessary in this isolation. One must adjust to the time and promptly avoid the danger. Stubborn perseverance in maintaining one's standpoint would lead to downfall.
