從幼年到老年，我從未見過義人遭棄，也未見其後人討飯。

上帝知道怎樣拯救敬虔的人脫離試煉，把不義的人拘禁在刑罰之下，等候審判的日子，

「上帝決不會拋棄純全的人，也不會扶持邪惡的人。

在我虛空的一生中，我見過義人行義，反而滅亡；惡人行惡，卻享長壽。

祂時時看顧義人，使他們與君王同坐寶座，永遠受尊崇。

我仔細思想、探究這些事，就知道義人、智者及他們的行事為人都由上帝掌管，人無法知道前面等待自己的是愛還是恨。義人和惡人、好人和壞人、潔淨的和污穢的、獻祭的和不獻祭的、行善的和犯罪的、敢於起誓的和不敢起誓的人，最終的命運都一樣。

那裡的居民看見毒蛇吊在保羅手上，就交頭接耳地說：「這人一定是個兇手，雖然僥倖沒有淹死，天理卻不容他活下去。」

因為，我認為都是一樣，純全無過的人和惡人都會被祂毀滅。災禍突然奪走人命時，祂嘲笑無辜者的遭遇。
