Line statement 爻辭
晉其角，維用伐邑，厲吉无咎，貞吝。
The topmost line, undivided, shows one advancing his horns. But he only uses them to punish the (rebellious people of his own) city. The position is perilous, but there will be good fortune. (Yet) however firm and correct he may be, there will be occasion for regret. (Legge, 1882)
