『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。

“所以，你们明理的人要听我的话。神断不致行恶；全能者断不致作孽。

“所以，你们明理的人要听我，上帝断不致行恶，全能者断不致不义。

“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，你們明理的人要聽我，神斷不致行惡，全能者斷不致不義。

「所以明智的人啊，請聽我言，上帝絕不會作惡，全能者絕無不義。

所以，明理的人哪！你們要聽我的話，神決不至作惡，全能者斷不至行不義，

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.

『那磐石，他的作為完全；他所行的都是公正；他是可信可靠的上帝，無不公道，又公義、又正直。

這樣，我們怎麼說呢？難道在上帝還有不公平麼？斷乎沒有。

將義人同惡人一齊殺死，你這樣作麼！絕對不然！讓義人像惡人一樣麼！絕對不然！審判全地的主、難道不行公義麼？』

上帝哪能顛倒是非？全能者哪能屈枉正直呢？

斷乎不能；上帝總是真誠的，雖則人人都撒謊；正如經上所記：『以致你在你的判語上總得證為對，你在被論斷時總必得勝。』但是我們的不義倘若證明上帝的義來，那要怎麼講呢？難道說上帝顯義怒是不義麼？（我且照人的講法說話吧）。

現在你們對永恆主要有畏懼的心；你們要謹慎辦事；因為永恆主我們的上帝無不公道；他不以貌取人，也不受賄賂。』

誰給他派定他所行的路呢？誰能說：「你所行的不對』呢？

至於跟婦人行淫的呢、卻是全無心思；行這事的，乃是毁滅自己。

好宣揚永恆主是正直，是我的磐石：在他毫無不義。

永恆主啊，我和你辯訴時，你都是對的；但有一個案件、我還要跟你理論。惡人的路為甚麼順利亨通？大行詭詐的為甚麼安享興隆呢？

全能者、我們查不出：他能力至大，他有公平，又滿有正義；不苦害人。

人被試誘，不可說『我是由上帝而被試誘的』，因為上帝不被惡試誘；他也不試誘人。

規避管教的是鄙視自己；聽從勸責的擁有己心。

心裏明理的人必對我說，聽我話的智慧人也必說：

『你們智慧人要聽我的話語；你們有知識的人要側耳聽我；因為耳朵試驗着話語，而上膛嚐喫着食物。
