Line 3 九三 yang, undivided, of hexagram 50 鼎 Dǐng
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
鼎耳革，其行塞，雉膏不食，方雨虧悔，終吉。
The third line, undivided, shows the caldron with (the places of) its ears changed. The progress (of its subject) is (thus) stopped. The fat flesh of the pheasant (which is in the caldron) will not be eaten. But the (genial) rain will come, and the grounds for repentance will disappear. There will be good fortune in the end. (Legge, 1882)
