以初九时位才皆不可以有为故当以中顺自固也
六二已日乃革之征吉无咎 以六居二柔顺而得中正又文明之主上有刚阳之君同徳相应中正则无偏蔽文明则尽事理应上则得权势体顺则无违悖时可矣位得矣才足矣处革之至善者也然臣道不当为革之先又必待上下之信故已日乃革之也如二之才徳所居之地所逢之时足以革天下之弊新天下之治当进而上辅于君以行其道则吉而无咎也不进则失可为之时为有咎也以二体柔而处当位体柔则其进缓当位则其处固变革者事之大故有此戒二得中而应刚未至失于柔也圣人因其有可戒之疑而明其义耳使贤才不失可为之时也
象曰已日革之行有嘉也 已日而革之征则吉而无咎者行则有嘉庆也谓可以革天下之弊新天下之事处而不行是无救弊济世之心失时而有咎也
九三征凶贞厉革言三就有孚 九三以刚阳为下之上又居离之上而不得中躁动于革者也在下而躁于变革以是而行则有凶也然居下之上事苟当革岂可不为也在乎守贞正而怀危惧顺从公论则可行之不疑革言谓当革之论就成也合也审察当革之言至于三而皆合则可信也言重慎之至能如是则必得至当乃有孚也己可信而众所信也如此则可以革矣在革之时居下之上事之当革若畏惧而不为则失时为害唯当慎重之至不自任其刚明审稽公论至于三就而后革之则无过矣
象曰革言三就又何之矣 稽之众论至于三就事至当也又何之矣力俗语更何往也如是而行乃顺理时行非己之私意所欲为也必得其宜矣
九四悔亡有孚改命吉 九四革之盛也阳刚革之才也离下体而进上体革之时也居水火之际革之势也得近君之位革之任也下无系应革之志也以九居四刚柔相际革之用也四既具此可谓当革之时也事之可悔而后革之革之而当其悔乃亡也革之既当唯在处之以至诚故有孚则改命吉改命改为也谓革之也既事当而弊革行之以诚上信而下顺其吉可知四非中正而至善何也曰唯其处柔也故刚而不过近而不逼顺承中正之君乃中正之人也易之取义无常也随时而已
