素聽福音真道、仰望在天之福故也、

有一言可信可嘉者、即基督耶穌臨世救罪人、其中我乃元惡、

蓋有多人、以我中足徵之事、筆之於書、乃本傳道者自始親見、而授同人、我又參互考證、次第書之、達提阿非羅閣下、欲爾深知所學之確然也、○

言而有物、則自信也深、時然後言、則益人也大。

惡念彼所深誅、良言彼所甚喜。

耶路撒冷王、大闢之子、宣播大道、其言曰、

傾耳以聽良言、專心以學智慧。守之於心、述之於口、斯為美。我今日誨爾、當惟耶和華是恃、我素錄於册者、嘉猷大道、使爾知真理、若人詰爾、以斯答之。

應對以時、猶金果置於銀筐。智者忠告而善道之、使人順受、猶金製耳環物飾。

明心可以言慧、巽言可以輔人、智者所得、生命之泉、愚者所聽、暗昧之詞。心具智慧、則所言足以訓人。良言若蜜、既甘且益。

以色列王所羅門、大闢之子也、所著箴言、訓人以智、迪人以理、得明至道、得秉公義、使拙者明徹、少者通達。哲者聞此而增其學、明者聞此而益其慧。玩味箴言之微旨、可悟賢人之隱語。

我誠告爾、我所知者言之、所見者證之、而爾曹不受我證、

我所言者、善也義也、尚其聽從。我口所述、真實是尚、凡諸妄言、我痛疾之。公義是談、非禮不言。知者必以我言為然、明者必以我言為宜。宜承我教、明哲是求、過於羨慕金銀也。

余為以色列王、睹耶路撒冷、
