The fifth [six], divided, shows one gnawing at dried flesh, and finding the yellow gold. Let him be firm and correct, realizing the peril (of his position). There will be no error.

The fifth line represents 'the lord of judgement'. As it is a weak line, he will be disposed to leniency; and his judgements will be correct. This is declared by his finding the 'yellow metal'; for yellow is one of the five 'correct' colors. The position is in the center and that of rule; but the line being weak, a caution is given, as under the previous line.
