惡人雖蒙恩施、猶不學義、在於正直之地、尚復橫行、不顧耶和華之威、

抑輕褻其宏大之慈惠寬容恆忍、不知上帝之慈惠導爾改悔乎、乃任爾剛愎、罔有悛心、積怒厥躬、以至上帝震怒、顯其義鞫之日、

此爾所行、而我緘默、遂意我與爾同、其實我必責爾、列斯事於爾前兮、爾曹忘上帝者、當思及此、免我磔爾、無人救援兮、

意謂我躬不致動搖、累世不經挫折、

首焉者、宜知季世將有戲謔者出而戲謔、從己慾而行、謂降臨之許安在、自列祖寢時、萬物與初創無異、彼甘忘太古以上帝命而有諸天及地自水而出、以水而結、故當時之世、為水氾濫而沒、但今之天地、以是命而存以待火、留至鞫日、即惡人淪亡之日也、○愛友乎、勿忘斯事、在主一日猶千年、千年猶一日、主不延緩其所許、若有視為延緩者、乃寬忍爾曹、不欲一人沉淪、惟欲人皆改悔、然主日將至、如盜然、是日諸天訇然而逝、體質俱為烈火所化、地與其間之造作盡爇焉、

遂扑其同儕、與酒徒飲食、乃於不意之日、不知之時、主至、

以虛偽為繩引邪惡、如以曳車之索牽罪戾、禍哉其人、彼曰、願其速成厥功、俾我見之、願以色列聖者所謀速臨、俾我知之、

孩童出則成羣、子女舞蹈、和琴鼓而謳歌、聽簫聲而歡樂、度日亨通、俄頃下於陰府、若輩對上帝曰、爾其去我、我不願知爾道、全能者誰、致我事之、祈之有何益乎、

摩押自幼安逸、若酒澄滓、未從此器傾於彼器、故其味猶存、香氣未變、

猶大之遺民歟、今聽耶和華言、萬軍之耶和華、以色列之上帝曰、如爾定厥趨向、入埃及而居之、

是時法老仍剛愎厥心、不釋斯民、

爾畏誰、因誰而懼、致爾誑言、不以我為念、不以此為意、爾不畏我、豈非因我歷久無言乎、
