Judgment 卦辞
小事吉。小事吉。
Khwei indicates that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which it denotes), in small matters there will (still) be good success.
Commentary on the Judgment 彖曰
睽，火动而上，泽动而下；二女同居，其志不同行；说而丽乎明，柔进而上行，得中而应乎刚；是以小事吉。天地睽，而其事同也；男女睽，而其志通也；万物睽，而其事类也；睽之时用大矣哉！睽，火動而上，澤動而下；二女同居，其志不同行；說而麗乎明，柔進而上行，得中而應乎剛；是以小事吉。天地睽，而其事同也；男女睽，而其志通也；萬物睽，而其事類也；睽之時用大矣哉！
Image 象曰
上火下泽，睽；君子以同而异。上火下澤，睽；君子以同而異。

睽孤， 见豕负涂，载鬼一车， 先张之弧，后说之弧，匪寇婚媾，往遇雨则吉。睽孤， 見豕負涂，載鬼一車， 先張之弧，後說之弧，匪寇婚媾，往遇雨則吉。
The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing) disunion. (In the subject of the third line, he seems to) see a pig bearing on its back a load of mud, (or fancies) there is a carriage full of ghosts. He first bends his bow against him, and afterwards unbends it, (for he discovers) that he is not an assailant to injure, but a near relative. Going forward, he shall meet with (genial) rain, and there will be good fortune.

悔亡，厥宗噬肤，往何咎。悔亡，厥宗噬膚，往何咎。
The fifth line, divided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance will disappear. With his relative (and minister he unites closely and readily) as if he were biting through a piece of skin. When he goes forward (with this help), what error can there be?

睽孤，遇元夫，交孚，厉无咎。睽孤，遇元夫，交孚，厲无咎。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing) disunion. (But) he meets with the good man (represented by the first line), and they blend their sincere desires together. The position is one of peril, but there will be no mistake.

见舆曳，其牛，其人天且劓，无初有终。見輿曳，其牛，其人天且劓，无初有終。
In the third line, divided, we see one whose carriage is dragged back, while the oxen in it are pushed back, and he is himself subjected to the shaving of his head and the cutting off of his nose. There is no good beginning, but there will be a good end.

遇主于巷，无咎。遇主于巷，无咎。
The second line, undivided, shows its subject happening to meet with his lord in a bye-passage. There will be no error.

悔亡，丧马勿逐，自复；见恶人无咎。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).
Line image 小象：见恶人，以辟咎也。見惡人，以辟咎也。
