智者聞言、藏之於衷、愚者多詞、害及乎人、

鎖安之牧伯、法老之謀士、忽為愚懵、焉能告法老曰、我乃先賢之後、前王之裔哉。萬有之主耶和華、已定厥命、降災埃及、若爾有賢人、必能知之、知之必能告爾。鎖安之牧伯為愚、挪弗之君長見惑、支派之宗、使之迷途、

智者彌慎厥行、愚者愈形其拙。

愚者動則啟釁、出言以招禍。啟口而貽患。

對曰、斯民曾言、爾父使眾負重軛、請爾輕之、爾則應之曰、我之小指、較父之身尤巨。父使爾負重軛、我必益之、我父以鞭責爾、我必以蠍螫爾。

驕侈必降卑、撝謙必獲榮。

人恃驕泰、多啟爭端、惟恃耶和華、無不亨通。

耶和華有旨必行、非詭謀所能撓。

戶篩曰、亞希多弗之計、不宜於今。又曰、爾父與其侍從、素稱英武、爾所知也、今其衷懷暴怒、如熊在野而亡其子、爾父又善戰鬥、不宿於民中、今在坎阱、或於他所。如爾從者數人初敗、眾聞其聲、必曰從押沙龍者見戮。於是稱英武、猛若獅者、風聞乎此、必喪其膽、蓋以色列族皆知爾父為豪傑、侍從亦英武。故我勸爾、集以色列族、自但至別是巴、如海沙之眾多、親往迎戰。彼之所在、勿論何方、我必涖至、如露之降、徧於土壤、使彼及臣僕、靡有孑遺。如彼入城、以色列族眾、必攜繩至、曳城入河、卷石靡遺。

智人恐懼而避惡、愚人矜誇而縱欲。
