爾為首生之人乎、爾之受造、先於山乎、

生人之始豈爾乎、有山以前豈爾乎。

爾生於世、豈首人乎、爾受造豈在有山以前乎、

群山尚未誕生，大地和世界還未形成，從亙古到永遠，你是上帝。

「在耶和華造物的起頭，在太初萬物被造以前，就已經有我。從亙古，從太初，大地還沒有形成以前，我已經被立。沒有深淵，沒有湧流的水泉以前，我已經誕生。大山未曾奠定，小丘未曾形成，我已經出生。

「我立大地根基的時候，你在哪裡？你若那麼聰明，請告訴我。你可知道誰為大地定的尺寸？誰用準繩把它丈量？是什麼支撐大地的根基？誰為它安放的基石？當時晨星齊聲歌唱，眾天使都發出歡呼。「大海從母胎奔騰而出時，誰為它劃定界限？是我為大海披上雲彩，為它裹上厚厚的幽暗。是我為它劃定界限，並安上門和閂，說，『你到此為止，不可越界；你狂傲的波濤要停在這裡。』「你生平可曾向晨曦發號施令，為黎明的曙光指定崗位，使陽光普照大地，抖出藏匿的惡人？日光使大地改觀，如泥上蓋印，萬物如衣服般顯出顏色。惡人得不到光明，強橫的臂膀必折斷。你可曾到過大海的源頭，走過深淵的底部？死亡之門可曾向你顯露？你可曾見過幽冥之門？你知道大地有多廣闊嗎？你若知道，就告訴我吧。「哪條路通往光明的居所？哪裡是黑暗的住處？你能把它們帶回原處嗎？你認識通往其居所的路嗎？你肯定知道，因為那時你已出生，你的壽數又很長久！「你曾到過雪庫，或見過雹倉嗎？那是我為降災之時，為爭戰之日而預備的。光從哪條路散開？東風從哪條路吹向大地？誰為豪雨開水道，為雷電闢路徑，使雨水降在杳無人煙之地，降在無人居住的曠野，以滋潤荒涼不毛之地，使土地長出青草？雨水有父親嗎？誰生的露珠？冰出自誰的胎？誰生的天上的霜？水變得堅硬如石，深淵表面凝結成冰。「你能繫住昴星的結，解開參星的帶嗎？你能按季節領出星座，引導北斗及其眾星嗎？你知道天的定律嗎？你能使地服從天律嗎？你能號令雲彩，使傾盆大雨覆蓋你嗎？你能命閃電發出，讓它聽候調遣嗎？誰將智慧放在人胸中？誰使人內心有聰明？塵土結成硬團，土塊黏在一起時，誰能憑智慧數算雲彩？誰能傾倒天上的水囊？

亞當和他妻子夏娃同房，夏娃便懷孕，生了該隱。她說：「耶和華讓我得了一個男孩。」

我們這裡有白髮老人，比你父親還年長。

智慧與老人相伴，知識與長者為伍。
