“所以，你们明理的人要听我，神断不致行恶，全能者断不致不义。

“所以明智的人啊，请听我言，上帝绝不会作恶，全能者绝无不义。

所以，明理的人哪！你们要听我的话，神决不至作恶，全能者断不至行不义，

所以，你們明理的人要聽我的話。神斷不致行惡；全能者斷不致作孽。

「所以，你們明理的人要聽我，上帝斷不致行惡，全能者斷不致不義。

『所以你們心裏明理的人要聽我；上帝決不至於行惡，全能者斷不至於不義。

故爾智者、其聽我言、上帝決不為惡、全能者斷不作孽、

維爾智者、請聽我言、寧有全能上帝、而行非義哉。

今爾曹有慧心者、請聽我言、天主斷不行非善、全能之主斷不行非義、

“ So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

“ Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

“ Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin! The Almighty can do no wrong.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, And from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God,[ that he should do] wickedness; and[ from] the Almighty,[ that he should commit] iniquity.

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

「祂是磐石，祂的作為完美，祂按公義行事，祂信實可靠，公平正直。

這樣看來，我們該怎麼下結論呢？難道上帝不公平嗎？當然不是。

你絕不會黑白不分，把義人和惡人一同毀滅。你是普天下的審判者，難道不秉公行事嗎？」

上帝豈會歪曲正義？全能者豈會顛倒是非？

當然不會！縱然人人都撒謊，上帝仍然真實可靠。正如聖經上說：「你的判語證明你是公義的；你雖被人控告，卻終必得勝。」我姑且用人的觀點說：「如果我們的不義可以反襯出上帝的公義，我們該做何論？上帝向我們發怒是祂不公正嗎？」

現在你們應當敬畏耶和華，謹慎辦事，因為我們的上帝耶和華毫無不義，不偏待人，不受賄賂。」

誰能為祂指定道路？誰能說祂行事不義？

和有夫之婦通姦的，實在愚不可及，他是自尋死路。

宣揚說：「耶和華公正無私，祂是我的磐石，祂裡面毫無不義。」

耶和華啊，每次我與你爭論，都顯明你是對的。然而，我還是對你的公正有所不解：為什麼惡人總是得勢？為什麼詭詐之人反而生活安逸？

我們無法測度全能者，祂充滿能力，無比正直公義，不恃強凌弱。

當人受到誘惑時，不可說：「是上帝在誘惑我。」因為上帝不受邪惡的誘惑，也不誘惑人。

不受管教就是輕看自己，聽從責備才能得到智慧。

明達的人和聽我發言的智者都會說，

「各位智者，請聽我言；明達之士，要側耳聽我的話。因為耳朵辨別話語，正如舌頭品嚐食物。
