The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
悔亡，喪馬勿逐，自復；見惡人无咎。
The first line, undivided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him not seek for them;—they will return of themselves. Should he meet with bad men, he will not err (in communicating with them). (Legge, 1882)
