利盡天下、而失生命者、何益之有、人將以何者易生命乎、

又設譬曰、天國猶人播美種於田、

富貴在我、仁義在我。我之結果、愈於兼金、我之土產、愈於白銀。使人由義路、行直徑。

人得智慧、則蒙綏祉、市之愈白金、得之愈黃金、貴於琅玕、凡所慕者、無能比儗。得智慧者、福祉遐齡、左宜右有、從其道者、享懽樂、得平康。凡得之者、如得生命之樹、存之者、可蒙福祉。

宜承我教、明哲是求、過於羨慕金銀也。斯智也、貴於琅玕、凡爾所欲、不得與之比儗。

珊瑚水晶、俱不足以介意、蓋智慧之價、過於琅玕。

各人所為、無非捉影、諠譟徒勞兮、積累財貨、不知孰得兮。我望伊何、實惟主兮、

我言嬉戲惟狂、宴樂無益。我姑以酒為懽、若無智然、而仍不敢失度、庶知人生在世、最樂者何事。於是興工作、建屋宇、作園囿、種葡萄、栽百果、

事之大略、爾其聽之、寅畏上帝、守其誡命、此人之大端。

民之多言、謂誰福我兮。予曰、願耶和華色相之光華、於我而普照。余歡然喜樂兮、雖旨酒孔多、五穀繁熟、比之且不足、

彼不顧而去、一往於田、一往於市、

傳道者曰、我觀萬事、空之又空、虛之又虛。
