『啊，我輕微，能答覆你甚麼？我只好用手摀口罷了。

我們曉得、律法無論說甚麼，都是向律法以內的人講的，好堵住每一個人的口，使全世界的人都伏在上帝審判之下；

好使你在我赦宥你除淨你一切所行的之時，你心裏能夠追念而自覺慚愧，並因你受的羞辱而不再開口：這是主永恆主發神諭說的。』

我要起來，去見我父親，對他說：『父親，我犯罪違逆了天，也犯罪在你面前；再也不配稱為你的兒子了；把我當做你的一個雇工吧。』」

或者他能回轉、改變心意，留下餘剩的祝福，留下獻素祭奠祭給永恆主你們的上帝的機會、也未可知。

從前我只是耳聞到你，現在我卻親眼看到你；因此我溶化為無有了；我在塵土和爐灰中懊悔着。』

那收稅人卻遠遠地站着，連舉目望天也不敢，只捶着胸膛說：「上帝啊，開恩憐憫我這個罪人哦！」

或者上帝改變初衷，回心轉意、不發烈怒，使我們不至於滅亡，也未可知。』

你的晚景必有希望，永恆主發神諭說，你的兒女必返回自己的境界。

地上所有的卑微人，遵行永恆主典章的啊，你們要尋求永恆主；要尋求公義、尋求謙卑，或者當永恆主發怒的日子你們得以蒙隱藏。

他在急難時候、求永恆主他的上帝的情面，並且在他列祖的上帝面前非常謙卑。
