如此、爾曹即行所命、亦自謂無益之僕、行所當行已耳、

我告耶和華曰、爾乃吾主兮、我之福祉、皆爾所賚、

人得智慧、則蒙綏祉、市之愈白金、得之愈黃金、貴於琅玕、凡所慕者、無能比儗。得智慧者、福祉遐齡、左宜右有、從其道者、享懽樂、得平康。凡得之者、如得生命之樹、存之者、可蒙福祉。

如爾作惡貫盈、於彼無所損。如爾為善不倦、於彼無所加、其遭爾之害、而受爾之益者、惟爾同儔而已、

孰為全能之主、事之何為、求之何益。

毋自欺也、上帝不可罔也、蓋所穫必觀所種、種以欲者、則所穡亦欲而敗壞、種以神者、則所穡亦神而永生、

恪守我今日所傳耶和華之禮儀禁令、以納福祉。

如爾為智、則可納福、如爾侮慢、則自取戾。

設也右目陷爾於罪、則抉而委之、寧百體喪一、勿全身投地獄、

有智有財、二者兼得、其益不淺。智可庇身、財可助己、惟獲智慧、可享永生。

眾物雖可欲、惟道尤為急務。如爾尊道、則尊榮必矣、如爾受道、則英華必矣、猶戴花冠、猶加榮冕。
