25. Innocence · 無妄 六三
Line 3 of hexagram 25
In practice
Watch and act at the right time, because a good deed done at the wrong moment turns out badly.
The poetry
An undeserved calamity: someone tied up an ox; the traveler takes it, and the calamity falls on the villagers.
六三：无妄之災，或繫之牛，行人之得，邑人之災。
象曰：行人得牛，邑人災也。
