Line 6 of hexagram 5
In practice
At a moment when everything seems to be against you, help appears that will resolve the situation.
The poetry
Into the pit. Three guests come without being called; receiving them with respect brings good fortune at last.
上六：入于穴，有不速之客三人來，敬之終吉。
象曰：不速之客來，敬之終吉。雖不當位，未大失也。
