我不以金為寶、亦不以兼金為可恃。

“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」；

我若惟金是望、謂精金曰、爾為我之所恃、

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!’

恃財者必隕越、行義者必若葱蘢之樹。

富人有財、常得範衛、貧人缺乏、臨於危亡。

彼恃貨財、誇豐富兮、然生命將絕、雖有密友不能贖之、而上帝錫以齡兮、

曰、彼其之子、輕上帝之能力、恃一己之貨財、強悍作惡兮、

遂謂眾曰、慎戒勿貪、蓋人之生、不在所蓄之贏餘也、○

拉班眾子相議曰、我父所有者、而雅各奪之、因致巨富。雅各聞之、

爾即財貨豐饒、勿以為樂、況虐人奪人、更不可以此浮財自恃、

恐富而侈、不崇事耶和華、或貧而盜、妄發誓言。

好利為萬惡根、有人慕之、則背於道、以多苦自刺、

故當滅去人欲、即淫行、污穢、比頑童、邪僻、貪婪、貪婪與拜偶像一也、

門徒異其言、耶穌曰、小子、恃財而入上帝國、難矣哉、駝穿針孔、較富人入上帝國、尤易也、

迨其臨沒、不攜一物、尊榮不隨其身兮、

當諭此世之富者、心勿傲、無定之財勿恃、惟賴永生上帝、洪賜我眾、百物以享之、

既建美室以居、食而果腹、牛羊蕃息、金銀無數、所有之物、既豐且盛、恐爾驕奢、忘爾之上帝耶和華、昔導爾出埃及、脫爾於賤役、
