惟王違棄耆老之謀、與侍其前、偕己同長之少者謀、

王弗聽、有少者與王年相若、侍於王側、王與之議曰、

王不從老者之謀、乃與侍其前、偕己同長之少者議、

押沙龍和以色列眾人都說：『亞基人戶篩的計謀比亞希多弗的計謀更好。』這是因為永恆主命定要破壞亞希多弗的好計謀，為要降災禍於押沙龍的。

你們反而規避我所有的勸告，不情願接受我的勸責，

跟智慧人同行的就有智慧；和愚頑人做伴的必受虧損。

智慧人的心向右；愚頑人的心向左。愚昧人連行路時心思也全失了；論到每一個人他都說：「那是個愚昧人」。

永恆主發神諭說：『有禍啊，這些悖逆的兒女！設下計謀，卻不由於我！奠酒結盟，卻不由於我的靈，以致罪上加罪！

智慧人的勸責在聽從的人耳中、如金耳環或黃金的妝飾品。

施教於智慧人，他就越發有智慧；將知識傳給義人，他就增加心得。

你要聽勸言，接受管教，使你所行的有智慧。

國家呀，你的王若是個孩童，你的大臣若早晨喫喝宴樂，你就有禍了！
