我又想：“至于世人，上帝试验他们，是要他们知道自己与兽类无异。

我心里说，这乃为世人的缘故，是神要试验他们，使他们觉得自己不过像兽一样。

我心里说：“为世人的缘故，上帝考验他们，让他们看见自己不过像走兽一样。”

我心里说：“为世人的缘故，神考验他们，让他们看见自己不过像走兽一样。”

我自己心里说：“至于世人，神要试验他们，使他们看见自己与牲畜无异。

至于世人，我心里说：“神在考验他们，要让他们看见自己像兽类一样”；

我心裏說，這乃為世人的緣故，是神要試驗他們，使他們覺得自己不過像獸一樣。

我心裏說：「為世人的緣故，上帝考驗他們，讓他們看見自己不過像走獸一樣。」

我心裏說：「為世人的緣故，神考驗他們，讓他們看見自己不過像走獸一樣。」

我又想：「至於世人，上帝試驗他們，是要他們知道自己與獸類無異。

我自己心裡說：“至於世人，神要試驗他們，使他們看見自己與牲畜無異。

我心裏說：這是為了人類的緣故：是上帝要試驗他們，使他們看出自己不過像獸類一樣。

至於世人，我心裡說：「神在考驗他們，要讓他們看見自己像獸類一樣」；

言及世人、我心自謂、上帝欲試之、使知其與獸無異、

又思世人行事、上帝察之、欲人知異於禽獸者幾希。

我又自思曰、世事如是乃緣人之故、蓋天主欲以試人、使人知人與獸無異、

I also said to myself,“ As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.

I also said to myself,“ God tests human beings. He does this so they can see that in certain ways they are like animals.

I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.

I also thought about the human condition— how God proves to people that they are like animals.

I said to myself,“ This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”

I said to myself regarding the sons of mankind,“ God is testing them in order for them to see that they are as animals, they to themselves.”

I said in my heart,“ Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

I said to myself,“ This happens concerning people, so that God may test them and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”

I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

I also thought to myself,“ It is for the sake of people, so God can clearly show them that they are like animals.

I said in my heart,“ As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

我当时愚昧无知，在你面前如同畜类。

按着定命，人人都有一死，死后还有审判。

耶和华上帝又对亚当说：“因为你听从妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的果子，地必因你而受咒诅。你必终生艰辛劳苦，才能吃到地里出产的食物。地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜，你要吃田间长出来的菜蔬。你必汗流满面，才有饭吃，一直到你归回尘土。因为你是尘土造的，也必归回尘土。”

以便在那些祂怜悯并预备赐予荣耀的器皿上彰显祂丰盛的荣耀，这难道不可以吗？

到头来他们还是要归到祖先那里，再也看不见光明。人有财富，却无明智的心，无异于必死的兽类。

你像急流一般把世人冲走，叫他们如梦消逝。他们像清晨的嫩草，清晨还生机盎然，傍晚就凋谢枯萎。你的怒气使我们灭亡，你的愤怒使我们战抖。你知道我们的罪恶，对我们隐秘的罪了如指掌。我们活在你的烈怒之下，一生就像一声叹息飞逝而去。我们一生七十岁，强壮的可活八十岁，但人生最美好的时光也充满劳苦和愁烦，生命转瞬即逝，我们便如飞而去。谁明白你愤怒的威力？有谁因为明白你的烈怒而对你心存敬畏呢？求你教导我们明白人生有限，使我们做有智慧的人。

我犯罪得罪了你，唯独得罪了你，做了你看为邪恶的事，所以你对我的责备是正当的，你对我的审判是公正的。

但他们好像没有理性，生下来就是预备让人捉去宰杀的牲畜，连自己不懂的事也随口毁谤。他们在毁坏别人的时候，自己也必灭亡。

“人为妇人所生，一生短暂，充满患难。他如花盛开，转眼凋谢；如影消逝，无法久留。你还察看这样的世人吗？还要把我召来受审吗？谁能使污秽产生洁净呢？没有人能。

你把他们放在容易滑倒的地方，使他们落入毁灭中。他们顷刻间被毁灭，在恐怖中彻底灭亡。

更何况可憎败坏、嗜恶如喝水的世人？

他们注定要死，与羊无异，死亡是他们的牧者；到了早晨，他们必被正直人管辖。他们的躯体必朽烂在坟墓里，远离自己的豪宅。

你要推翻我的公义，归罪于我而自以为义吗？

当然不会！纵然人人都撒谎，上帝仍然真实可靠。正如圣经上说：“你的判语证明你是公义的；你虽被人控告，却终必得胜。”

人不能长享富贵，终必死去，与兽无异。

因为“芸芸众生尽如草，荣华不过草上花；草必枯干花必残，
