他说：‘人以神为乐，总是无益。’

他说：‘人以上帝为乐，总是无益。’

他说：‘人以神为乐，总是无益。’

因为他说，‘人取悦上帝毫无益处。’

因为他说过：‘人讨神的喜悦，对他并无益处。’

彼雲、人樂上帝、無所裨益、

彼曰、崇事上帝、亦何所裨。

約百云、天主悅納人、與人無益、或作人順從天主亦何所益

For he says,‘ There is no profit in trying to please God.’

He asks,‘ What good is it to try to please God?’

For he has said,‘ It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’

He has even said,‘ Why waste time trying to please God?’

For he has said,“ A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend.”

For he has said,‘ It is of no use to a man When he becomes friends with God.’

For he has said,‘ It profits a man nothing That he should delight in God.’

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

For he has said,“ A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend.”

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

才说，‘这与我有什么益处？我不犯罪比犯罪有什么好处呢？’

善恶无分，都是一样；所以我说，完全人和恶人，他都灭绝。若忽然遭杀害之祸，他必戏笑无辜的人遇难。

你们说：‘侍奉神是徒然的，遵守神所吩咐的，在万军之耶和华面前苦苦斋戒，有什么益处呢？

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手，你还要扔我在坑里，我的衣服都憎恶我。

又要以耶和华为乐，他就将你心里所求的赐给你。

他们对神说：‘离开我们吧！我们不愿晓得你的道。全能者是谁，我们何必侍奉他呢？’求告他有什么益处呢？看哪，他们亨通不在乎自己；恶人所谋定的离我好远。

就是恶人在祸患的日子得存留，在发怒的日子得逃脱。

他岂以全能者为乐，随时求告神呢？

他们向神说：‘离开我们吧！’又说：‘全能者能把我们怎么样呢？’
