Line 3 六三 yin, divided, of hexagram 25 无妄 Wú Wàng
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
无妄之災，或繫之牛，行人之得，邑人之災。
The third line, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is free from insincerity;—as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer by finds it (and carries it off), while the people in the neighbourhood have the calamity (of being accused and apprehended). (Legge, 1882)
