亞伯拉罕曰、子乎、當憶爾生時、受諸福、拉撒路受諸難、今彼慰、而爾苦焉、

亞伯拉罕曰、子當憶、生前受諸福、拉撒路受諸難、今彼慰、而爾苦焉、

亞伯拉罕曰、我子、當憶爾生前已受諸福、拉撒路已受諸苦、今彼得慰、而爾受苦、

亞伯漢曰：「兒乎、當憶汝生前如何享樂、辣柴魯如何受苦、今則彼見慰、而汝受罪矣。

“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember what happened in your lifetime. You received your good things. Lazarus received bad things. Now he is comforted here, and you are in terrible pain.

But Abraham said,‘ Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.

“ But Abraham said to him,‘ Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.

“‘ Son,’ Abraham said,‘ remember that during your life you received your good things, just as Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.

But Abraham said,‘ Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.

但你們富足的人有禍啊！因為你們已經收到了你們的安慰。

永恆主啊，伸手救我脫離這些人，脫離今世之人，其業分只在今生的。你把你的藏寶充滿他們的肚腹；他們因有兒女而心滿意足；便將餘剩的財物留給他們的嬰孩。

倘若你的一隻腳使你絆跌，把它砍掉吧；你瘸腿進入生命，比有兩隻腳而被丟在地獄裏倒好呢。

別愛世界、或世界上的事物了。人若愛世界，愛父的心就不在他裏面了。

免得有人在這些患難中被誘動；因為你們自己也知道，我們是被派定而受苦的。

我將這些事告訴你們，是要使你們有平安於我裏面。在世界、你們有苦難；但你們要放膽，我已經勝了世界。』

他們的結局是滅亡；他們所事奉的神就是自己的肚子；他們所誇耀的是在於他們的羞恥；他們是意念着地上之事的人。

而你呢，伯沙撒啊，你是他的兒子，你雖知道這一切，你心仍不自己謙卑，竟對着天上的主高抬自己，叫人把他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和你大臣、王后、妃嬪竟用這些器皿來喝酒；你又稱頌那些金銀銅鐵、木頭石頭的神，就是那些不能看、不能聽、不能知道的；至於那手中執掌你氣息、那管理你一生行程的上帝、你卻不將尊榮歸與他。

堅固門徒的心，鼓勵他們要堅守信仰。又說我們要進上帝的國、經由許多苦難是必須的。』

我對他說：『我主，你是知道的；我不知道。』他對我說：『這些人是從那大苦難中出來的；他們曾在羔羊血中把他們的袍子洗到白白。

因為肉體的意念跟上帝為敵，不順服於上帝之律法，也實在不能順服：

他們的罪孽因體胖而生出；他們心裏所狂想的橫流瀰漫。

看哪，這就是惡人；總享受優游興盛，資財增加。唉，我保持我心純潔、實在無用。我洗手表明無辜，也是徒然。因為我終日不斷地受災害，我每日早晨都被懲罰。我若心裏說：『我要持這言論』，那我就對主你子孫的族類不住了。我直思索着要明白這事，看來實在為難；等我來到上帝聖的所在，我才領會他們的結局。啊，你實在把他們安在滑地，使他們掉在完全荒廢的地步。一眨眼間他們怎樣地成了荒涼啊！他們全都被可怕的災難滅盡了。

他們的墳墓永做他們的家，代代做他們的住處：他們以自己的名稱自己的地。

他在陰間、一直在痛苦中；一舉目竟望見亞伯拉罕在遠處，拉撒路在亞伯拉罕懷裏呢。

我見過惡人強橫可怖，挺然高聳、像茂盛的香柏樹。我從那裏經過，啊，已經沒有了；我尋找他，卻找不着。

就在那一夜、迦勒底王伯沙撒就被弒殺了。

他們居然以美物充滿自己的房屋啊。惡人的謀算是離上帝很遠的。

寧可選擇跟上帝的子民同受虐待，也不願意有罪惡中暫時的享受。

耶路撒冷追想着她苦難和流浪的日子，回想起古時之日一切可愛的寶物。她人民落在敵人手中，無人救助；她的息滅、敵人看了就譏笑。

又有一個討飯的名叫拉撒路，躺在他的大門口，生着瘡；

他們興隆順遂地消磨了年日，一眨眼就下陰間，毫無痛苦。然而他們對上帝說：「離開我們吧！我們不願意認識你的道路。
