30. The Flame · 離 上九
Line 6 of hexagram 30
In practice
If you recognize the mistakes in what you've done and make the corrections needed, you'll succeed.
The poetry
The king sets out on campaign. There is merit: the chief's head is cut off, and the captives are not the chief's own people. No fault.
上九：王用出征，有嘉折首，獲匪其醜，无咎。
象曰：王用出征，以正邦也。
