耶和華曰、維昔爾祖、見我所為、有何苛政、故背逆予、崇事虛無、所為放誕、

好慧者悅親、狎妓者傷財。

爾小子、聽我言而得智、守本心而遵道。蕩檢者勿交、沉湎者勿友、蓋饕餮甘酒、必致貧、思寢之人必衣敝。父母生爾、雖至老邁、宜聽勿棄。

樂宴樂者、必遭貧乏、好酒醴膏沐者、不能致富。

守律法者、有智之子、從惡黨者、貽父之羞。

有富人衣紫袍細布、日事華靡宴樂、

耶穌謂門徒曰、富人有操會者、或以耗主業訴其主、

維爾小子、幼而嬉戲、其志愉快、隨心所欲、隨目所視、當思上帝必鞫爾、故必去欲絕邪、蓋幼稚之時、亦屬於虛。

我生斯世、從異邦人之俗亦至矣、邪侈縱欲、沉湎、蕩檢、饕餮過度、及拜偶像、尤非所宜、彼見爾不蕩檢踰閑、與彼相同、則異而謗爾、

而此子狎妓、盡耗父業、乃至、則為之宰肥犢也、

行所當行、有如晝日、勿沉湎而蕩檢、勿冒色而邪侈、勿鬥忿而媢嫉、勿圖情欲、以任所嗜、惟主耶穌基督是佩是服、

惟爾欣喜歡忭、宰牛殺羊、食肉飲酒、曰、寧圖飲食、明日死至矣。

離經畔道、以色列族之聖主、其名非所樂聞、

耶和華曰、我民與、我與爾何為、我未嘗有苛政、爾試言之、

怠惰者與奢蕩者、無以異也。

遠離爾者必亡、縱私欲、不爾順者、必滅兮、

彼曰、盍來取酒、縱飲醇醪、明日必多於今日。

我耶和華爾之上帝、導爾於途、爾乃棄我、自罹斯害。爾今或往埃及、飲西曷之水、或往亞述、飲百辣之水、果何為哉。萬有之主耶和華曰、爾犯罪違道、必遭刑譴、俾爾知、遐棄我躬、不畏我威者、必備嘗艱苦。

居位之人、所行暴虐、以為報應之理、甚屬茫昧、寢於象牙之榻、卧於棲息之床、羔則取之於群、犢則執之於牢、供其饜飫、彈琴作歌、製樂器、一如大闢、以最巨之盂、盛酒醴、以至貴之油、膏肌膚、於約瑟之難、毫不矜憫、其禍必不遠矣。寢於床第者、不聞懽呼之聲、必先他人、徙於遠方。

我民作二大惡、我乃活水之源、彼反棄予、器易敗漏、不得盛水、彼反造作。

饅首一角、即可招妓、淫人之妻、則喪生命。

馬拿西年十有二即位、都耶路撒冷、凡五十五年。昔異邦人行可惡之事、耶和華使以色列族逐之、馬拿西行惡於耶和華前、而效其尤。厥父希西家曾毀崇坵、馬拿西築之、且築祭壇、立偶像、服事巴力、崇拜天象、昔耶和華曰、耶路撒冷必為籲我名之所、永世勿替、而馬拿西在耶和華殿之二院築壇、奉事天象。

惡者驕泰、以為上帝不加考察、而屬於虛無兮、既所為之如志、復災眚之弗及、所以藐視讐敵兮、以為吾身不遭憂患、子孫不至艱危兮、

其在世也、為樂靡涯、其逝世也、患疾不久、其平日對上帝曰、我不悅爾道、勿親我、孰為全能之主、事之何為、求之何益。

彼曰、上帝勿親我、全能之主、無益於我。不知嘉物盈室、無非主所賜也、故我亦不為惡人辨、

斯世之人、宜聽我言、我眷佑以色列族、詎若幽曠之野、杳冥之域哉。何以我民放縱、不肯詣予。

貨財膏沐、智者積之、愚者耗之。

當遠淫婦、毋入其室、恐爾精力為之漸耗、恐爾壽齡為之日促、於是爾之貨財為人所得、爾之物產為人所有、及其終也、形消骨立、號泣不勝、曰、我不受教、藐視箴規、不聽師訓、不納良言、在大會中、幾遭扑責。○

我耶和華為以色列族之聖主、斯民侮予、棄予逆予、風俗澆漓、陷於罪戾、入於邪僻、豈不哀哉。

人遊遠方、如鳥離巢。

遂至傳平和福音、與在遠在近者、

今則宗基督耶穌、爾曩遠離之者、覺賴其血而得近矣、

彼於白晝、樂宴樂、詭道謀食、在爾筵中、為瑕為垢、
