我若惟金是望、謂精金曰、爾為我之所恃、

“我若以黄金为指望，对精金说：你是我的倚靠；

“我若以黄金为我的指望，对纯金说：你是我的倚靠；

“我若以黄金为我的指望，对纯金说：你是我的倚靠；

“我若仰仗金子，依靠纯金，

我若以黄金为我所信靠的，又对精金说：‘你是我所靠赖的’；

我若以黃金為指望，對精金說：你是我的倚靠；

「我若以黃金為我的指望，對純金說：你是我的倚靠；

「我若以黃金為我的指望，對純金說：你是我的倚靠；

「我若仰仗金子，依靠純金，

我若以黃金為我所信靠的，又對精金說：‘你是我所靠賴的’；

『我若以金子為我所安心信賴的，而對黃金說：「你是我所倚靠」；

我不以金為寶、亦不以兼金為可恃。

何曾以金為望、何曾云精金為我所恃、

“ If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold,‘ You are my security,’

“ Suppose I’ve put my trust in gold. I’ve said to pure gold,‘ You make me feel secure.’

“ If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,

“ Have I put my trust in money or felt secure because of my gold?

If I placed my confidence in gold or called fine gold my trust,

“ If I have put my confidence in gold, And called fine gold my trust,

“ If I have made gold my hope, Or said to fine gold,‘ You are my confidence’;

If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

If I placed my confidence in gold or called fine gold my trust,

If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold,[ Thou art] my confidence;

“ If I have put my confidence in gold or said to pure gold,‘ You are my security!’

“ If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold,‘ You are my confidence;’

恃財者必至傾覆、行義者茂如青葉、

富人之貨財、為其堅城之衛、貧者之窮乏、乃其敗亡之由、

恃其貨財、誇其富足者、莫能贖其昆弟、為付贖金於上帝、

曰、試觀斯人、不以上帝為力、惟恃多財、以惡自固兮、

遂語眾曰、慎戒貪婪、蓋人之生、不在所蓄之豐裕也、

雅各聞拉班眾子言曰、我父所有者、雅各盡奪之、因父之資、獲此榮盛、

勿惟暴虐是恃、勿因刦奪而驕、貨財增益、勿繫念兮、

恐我飽飫、而不識爾、謂耶和華為誰、或貧乏而行竊、褻瀆我上帝之名、○

蓋好利為萬惡之根、有慕之者、迷失乎信、以多苦自刺、○

故當滅爾在地之肢體、即淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾、及貪婪、貪婪與拜像一也、

門徒異其言、耶穌又曰、小子、恃財者入上帝國難矣哉、駝穿針孔、較富者入上帝國猶易也、

因其臨沒、毫無所攜、彼之尊榮、不隨之往兮、

當諭今世之富有者、志勿高、勿望無定之財、惟望上帝、即厚以百物賜我者、

恐爾飽食、華屋而居、牛羊蕃滋、金銀增益、所有之物、既豐且盛、心遂高傲、忘爾上帝耶和華、導爾出埃及、脫於奴隸之室、
