萬軍之耶和華說：“你們卻褻瀆了我，因你們以為主的桌子是污穢的，桌上的食物也是可藐視的。你們又說：‘唉，真麻煩！’你們就嗤之以鼻。”耶和華說：“你們把搶來的、瘸腿的和有病的帶來作禮物，我怎能從你們的手中收受呢？”

你向神許了願，就不可遲遲不還，因為他不喜悅愚昧人；所許的願必須償還。許願不還，不如不許。不可任你的口使自己犯罪，也不可在使者前面說是許錯了。何必使神因你的聲音發怒，破壞你手中的工作呢？多夢和多話，都是虛空的，你只要敬畏神。如果你在一省之中，看到窮人遭受欺壓，公正和公義被奪去，也不必因此驚訝，因為高位者之上有較高的照應，在他們之上還有更高的。

我看見各樣的勞碌和各樣精巧的工作，都是出於人與人彼此的競爭。這也是虛空，也是捕風。
