Line 6 上六 yin, divided, of hexagram 49 革 Gé

The line, with Legge

Line statement 爻辭

君子豹變，小人革面，征凶，居貞吉。

jūn zǐ bào biàn, xiǎo rén gé miàn, zhēng xiōng, jū zhēn jí.

The sixth line, divided, shows the superior man producing his changes as the leopard (does when he) changes (his spots), while small men change their faces (and show their obedience). To go forward (now) would lead to evil, but there will be good fortune in abiding firm and correct. (Legge, 1882)
