我从前年幼，现在年老，却未见过义人被弃，也未见过他的后裔求乞。

那么，主知道搭救敬虔的人脱离试炼，把不义的人留在惩罚之下等候审判的日子，

看哪，神必不丢弃完全人，也不扶助邪恶人的手。

在虚度的日子里，我见过各样的事情，义人在他的义中灭亡，恶人在他的恶中倒享长寿。

他的眼目不远离义人，却使他们和君王同坐宝座，永远被高举。

我将这一切事放在心上，详细研究这些，就知道义人和智慧人，并他们的作为都在神手中；或是爱，或是恨，都在他们面前，但人不能知道。凡临到众人的际遇都一样：义人和恶人，好人，洁净的人和不洁净的人，献祭的和不献祭的，都一样。好人如何，罪人也如何；起誓的如何，怕起誓的也如何。

当地的人看见那毒蛇悬在他手上，就彼此说：“这人必是个凶手，虽然他从海里获救，天理仍不容他活着。”

所以我说，都是一样；完全人和恶人，他都灭绝。若灾祸忽然带来死亡，他必戏笑无辜人的苦难。
