Line 5 六五 yin, divided, of hexagram 38 睽 Kuí
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
悔亡，厥宗噬膚，往何咎。
The fifth line, divided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance will disappear. With his relative (and minister he unites closely and readily) as if he were biting through a piece of skin. When he goes forward (with this help), what error can there be? (Legge, 1882)
The Image 小象
