行惡於主前、效其父瑪拿西所為、祭祀崇事其父瑪拿西所作之偶像、

出迎亞撒謂之曰、亞撒、及猶大人、便雅憫人、須聽我言、如爾從主、主必祐爾、如爾尋求主、主必為爾所得、如爾棄主、主必棄爾、

民仍獻祭在邱壇、惟獻於主其天主、

愛我者、我亦愛之、尋求我者、必尋得我、

大衛王謂會眾曰、我子所羅門、主特選之、今尚幼弱、而工作甚大、蓋殿宇非為人、乃為主爾之天主、

爾自幼識聖經、聖經能使爾有智慧、由信基督而得救、

民起、將在耶路撒冷之偽壇、即焚香之壇、盡去之、投於汲淪溪、

王命大祭司希勒家、與眾副祭司、及守殿門者、將為巴力、為亞舍拉、為天之萬象、所製之祭器、皆由主殿移之出、乃焚於耶路撒冷外、近汲淪溪之田間、攜其灰至伯特利、

年少者如何方能自潔品行、總須自守、遵依主言、

我必毀爾邱壇、滅爾日像、使爾之屍與爾偶像偃仆一處、我心必憎爾、

我子所羅門歟、爾當知爾父之天主、誠心樂意以事之、蓋主鑒察人心、人心原文作諸心知悉一切意念、爾若求之、必惠臨爾、若遺之、必永棄爾、
