为困所纒而不能变未得其道也是处之未当也知动则得悔遂有悔而去之可出于困是其行而吉也 【巽下坎上】 井序卦困乎上者必反下故受之以井承上升而不已必困为言谓上升不已而困则必反于下也物之在下者莫如井井所以次困也为卦坎上巽下坎水也巽之象则木也巽之义则入也木器之象木入于水下而上乎水汲井之象也
井改邑不改井无防无得往来井井 井之为物常而不可改也邑可改而之他井不可迁也故曰改邑不改井汲之而不竭存之而不盈无防无得也至者皆得其用往来井井也无防无得其徳也常往来井井其用也周常也周也井之道也
汔至亦未繘井羸其瓶凶 汔几也繘绠也井以济用为功几至而未及用亦与未下繘于井同也君子之道贵乎有成所以五谷不熟不如荑稗掘井九仞而不及泉犹为弃井有济物之用而未及物犹无有也羸败其瓶而失之其用防矣是以凶也羸毁败也
改邑不改井乃以刚中也 巽入于水下而上其水者井也井之养于物不有穷已取之而不竭徳有常也邑可改井不可迁亦其徳之常也二五之爻刚中之徳其常乃如是卦之才与义合也 汔至亦未繘井未有功也羸其瓶是以凶也 虽使几至既未为用亦与未繘井同井以济用为功水出乃为用未出则何功也瓶所以上水而致用也羸败其瓶则不为用矣是以凶也
象曰木上有水井君子以劳民劝相 木承水而上之乃器汲水而出井之象君子观井之象法井之徳以劳徕其民而劝勉以相助之道也劳徕其民法井之用也劝民使相助法井之施也
初六井泥不食旧井无禽 井与鼎皆物也就物以为义六以隂柔居下上无应援无上水之象不能济物乃井之不可食也井之不可食以泥污也在井之下有泥之象井之用以其水之养人也无水则舍置不用矣井水之上人获其用禽鸟亦就而求焉旧废之井人既不食水不复上则禽鸟亦不复往矣盖无以济物也井本济人之物六以隂居下无上水之象故为不食井之不食以泥也犹人当济物之时而才弱无援不能及物为时所舍也
