我從前年幼，現在年老，卻未見過義人被棄，也未見過他的後裔求乞。

那麼，主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試煉，把不義的人留在懲罰之下等候審判的日子，

看哪，上帝必不丟棄完全人，也不扶助邪惡人的手。

在虛度的日子裏，我見過各樣的事情，義人在他的義中滅亡，惡人在他的惡中倒享長壽。

他的眼目不遠離義人，卻使他們和君王同坐寶座，永遠被高舉。

我將這一切事放在心上，詳細研究這些，就知道義人和智慧人，並他們的作為都在上帝手中；或是愛，或是恨，都在他們面前，但人不能知道。凡臨到眾人的際遇都一樣：義人和惡人，好人，潔淨的人和不潔淨的人，獻祭的和不獻祭的，都一樣。好人如何，罪人也如何；起誓的如何，怕起誓的也如何。

當地的人看見那毒蛇懸在他手上，就彼此說：「這人必是個兇手，雖然他從海裏獲救，天理仍不容他活着。」

所以我說，都是一樣；完全人和惡人，他都滅絕。若災禍忽然帶來死亡，他必戲笑無辜人的苦難。
