我凡民也、主豈與我等、奚敢與之辨論。

人若陶器、居於土壤、如與造化主爭、禍必及之。譬諸塗泥、豈能謂陶人曰、奚造我若此、受造之物、豈能謂造之者、毫無技能。人詰父母曰、爾生予、何為若此、則其禍必不遠矣。

我全能之上帝也、爾昔欲與我辨、今何詞以對。

有而復有、成必再成、或去或來、上帝所循環。

如上帝勘問、萬中不能答一、上帝具至智、有大能、違之者烏能得福。

人乃婦女誕育、既不永年、且多憂慮。若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。人既如是、爾何必過於追求、鞫其是非哉。未有源濁而流清者。

我即稱爾曹為上帝、若至上者之子、亦不過民牧、終亦必亡、無異他人兮。

各人所為、無非捉影、諠譟徒勞兮、積累財貨、不知孰得兮。

謂亞當曰、既聽婦言、食我所禁之樹、故土緣爾見詛、爾畢生鬱伊、食其所產。土將叢生荊棘、汝所食者、惟田之蔬、必汗流浹面、庶可餬口、逮歸於所出之土而後已。汝身乃土、死則返其本焉。

爾必語我云、何其尚責人哉、孰逆其旨乎、我則曰、爾何人、敢詰上帝耶、受造之物、豈能對造者云、何造我若此乎、

任意以行、爾不順受曷故。

孰能與我比儗、孰能與我辯論、孰能為民牧、侍於我側我遴選之、以目會意、彼則疾趨、攻擊斯邦、譬彼獅子、因約但之水漲溢、出自河濱、遊於牧地、青草芊綿。

人之生也、譬彼草萊、欣欣以向榮兮、

有必復有、成必再成、天下之物、咸非新創。如言新創、何諦視之、則自昔已然。往者已難追憶、來者亦將遺忘。

耶和華上帝召亞當云、汝何在。
