15. Simplicity · 謙 六五
Line 5 of hexagram 15
In practice
If you hold a position of power, don't abuse it, but don't be careless about other people's mistakes either. It's time to observe and to take measured action.
The poetry
Not rich, alongside the neighbors. It is favorable to attack and subdue. Nothing that is not favorable.
六五：不富，以其鄰，利用侵伐，无不利。
象曰：利用侵伐，征不服也。
