爾何不守指耶和華所誓、及我戒爾之命乎、

為主故、服人諸制、或在上之王、或王所遣罰惡彰善之方伯、蓋上帝之旨、欲以善行杜愚人無知之口、爾得自由、勿以自由而掩惡、惟如上帝之僕、宜敬眾人、愛兄弟、畏上帝、尊君王、○

昔大衛與掃羅子約拿單、指耶和華而誓、故王惜掃羅孫、約拿單子米非波設、

揀其王子、與之立約、使之發誓、遷其境內強者、使國為卑、不復振興、但守盟約、猶可保存、惟彼叛巴比倫王、遣使至埃及、欲其給以馬匹軍旅、如是能亨通乎、行是事者、得免難乎、爽約能遠害乎、彼既藐其誓、爽其約、主耶和華曰、我指己生而誓、彼必於立之為王者之都、與之同沒於巴比倫、其敵築壘建營、欲滅邑眾、法老雖率軍旅羣眾、亦不能助其戰、蓋王子既握手立約、乃藐誓爽約、必不能免難、主耶和華曰、我指己生而誓、彼藐我誓、爽我約、我必以此罪歸於其首、必張我網於其上、陷之於我擭、曳至巴比倫、在彼鞫其逆我之罪、

我子、宜敬畏耶和華與王、好更張者、勿與之交、

秉權者、眾宜服之、蓋無權非由上帝、諸權皆上帝所命也、故與秉權者抗、乃拒上帝命、拒者自取鞫也、蓋有司非行善者所畏、乃行惡者所畏耳、爾欲弗畏權、惟行善則得其褒、蓋彼為上帝之役、以益爾、爾若行惡則畏之、以其非徒佩劍、乃為上帝役、以怒加諸行惡者、故須服之、不惟因怒、亦因良心也、

則二人同在、守者指耶和華而誓曰、未嘗取人之物、畜主當諾之、守者毋庸償、

諸牧伯勇士、及大衛王眾子、皆服從所羅門王、

爾提撕彼眾、當服有位有權者而順從之、以備諸善、
