閭閻之惡人、自謂禍不及己者、俱必亡於鋒刃、

彼曰、盍來取酒、縱飲醇醪、明日必多於今日。

人子、以色列家常言、爾所見之異象、指後來之事、其禍尚遠、不及我躬。

造物以來、列祖云亡、萬物如故、主許復臨、則未之見、

人自謂平康安固、而禍突至、猶妊婦劬勞、其人不得免、

人子、以色列國人、奚用諺語云、時日遲延、先知之言不應。

倘有惡僕、意主將遲遲而至、

我知爾罪戾繁多、愆尤滋大、困逼義人、而受賄賂、在彼公庭、枉法害貧、

我耶和華之日、其象若何、幽暗無光、爾曹欲其速至、禍不遠矣。

磐巖之上、豈可使馬馳驟、使牛耕耘乎、聽訟之所、當秉公義、惟爾使人茹荼飲酖、

各舟長舟子、與附載之人、及航海商旅遙立、

惡不即罰、人專為惡。

惡人在位、立法不善、爾豈佑之兮、

爾自謂必永為主母、不深思此理、不慮後患。
