爾素昏昏、今宗主而昭昭、宜效昭昭之人、

爾曹皆昭昭如旦晝人、我儕非昏昏如暮夜人、

尚有光、宜及時信光、以為光之人、耶穌言竟、往而隱、○

耶穌曰、惟世人有嫁娶、

於小者忠、則大者亦忠、於小者不義、則大者亦不義、

怠惰者流、盍觀螻蟻、而法其智、彼無俟長者之命、夏時備糧、穡時斂物。

耶和華上帝所造生物中、莫狡於蛇、蛇謂婦曰、囿有百樹、上帝豈語汝云、勿食乎。

耶和華兮、手援拯我、斯世害予兮、爾其免我、乃彼至今兮、反得福祜、富有兮豐亨、寖昌兮寢熾、業遺於子孫、

莫若施謀以制之、恐其眾多、乘敵至、合而攻我、離我國而去。

我知所為矣、若如是以行、則奪操會後、人必接我於其家、○

彼養小體、如事上帝以辱為榮、惟是涉世、終必沉淪、

上帝子與魔鬼子、由此判然、不行義、不相友者、非由上帝出、

毋自欺也、倘有人貌為智干斯世、則寧不智以為智、

大闢兄、示米亞子約拿撻狡人也、與暗嫩為友、問之曰、爾為王子、日益憔悴、果何故與、請明告我。

曰、庶民耳、曰、然則己子可蠲矣、

主曰、聽不義士師所言、

今我必獻大祭、奉事巴力、故當集巴力諸先知、祭司、僕役、不遺一人、有不至者殺毋赦。耶戶言此、蓋欺人也、欲滅崇拜巴力之人耳。

爾乃成聖之國、得救之民、推選之族、為王而祭司者、既蒙主召爾出幽暗、入靈光、爾當表彰其德、

我觀智慧者死、愚蠢者亡、遺業於後兮、揣彼之心、意謂家必恆存、室可垂後、聲名揚於寰宇兮、人爵雖顯、不得永存、猶禽獸之速亡兮。世人所為、不智孰甚、後人效之兮、瘟滅若羊、蚯蚓嘬兮、彼在塚中、形骸喪兮、至於異日、義人勝之兮、上帝待予以恩、將拯余於陰府兮。人有貨財、家以顯榮、毋庸畏彼兮、迨其臨沒、不攜一物、尊榮不隨其身兮、生存之時、以為獲福、自奉奢靡、人咸欣羨之兮、必返其本、不見光明。
