The line, with Legge

Line statement 爻辭

翩翩，不富以其鄰；不戒以孚。

piān piān, bù fù yǐ qí lín; bù jiè yǐ fú.

The fourth line, divided, shows its subject fluttering (down);—not relying on his own rich resources, but calling in his neighbours. (They all come) not as having received warning, but in the sincerity (of their hearts). (Legge, 1882)

The Image 小象

翩翩不富，皆失實也。不戒以孚，中心願也。

piān piān bù fù, jiē shī shí yě. bù jiè yǐ fú, zhōng xīn yuàn yě.
