始而驟富、終不為福、

積財非義、無所裨益、惟義拯人於死、

噫、富者歟、宜悲泣號咷、因苦難將臨於爾也、爾財壞矣、爾衣蠹矣、爾金銀銹矣、其銹將為證於爾、且如火而蝕爾肉、爾已積財於末日也、刈爾田之工值、爾以詭譎不給、有聲籲呼、且刈者之呼號、已入萬軍之主之耳矣、爾在世奢侈宴樂、饜爾心於宰割之日、

人取利以增財、乃為恤貧者積蓄之、

爾當詳察羊羣、留意牛羣、蓋貨財不永存、冠冕豈世襲乎、枯草既芟、嫩草復發、山間菜蔬、亦已收斂、羔羊之毛、以製爾衣、山羊之值、以購田畝、並得山羊之乳、足供爾與眷屬所食、婢女所需、

眈眈者急於獲財、不知窮乏之將至、

善人遺業於子孫、罪人積財歸義者、貧而力田、多得穀食、亡於不義、亦有其人、

彼雖積金如塵、備衣如土、然彼備之、而義人衣之、無辜者分其金、

忠誠者、其福充裕、急欲獲財者、不免受刑、

人得非義之財、如鷓鴣伏非己之卵、中年失之、終顯為愚、○

斯眾豈不以譬詞諷之、以隱語嘲之曰、禍哉其人、聚斂非己之財、擔負典質之重、伊於胡底、剝削爾者、豈不勃興乎、窘迫爾者、豈不亟起乎、爾必為其所虜之物、

彼吞貨財、必吐之、上帝使之出於其腹、

必食爾手勤勞所得、獲福而亨通兮、

猝遭禍患、貨財俱亡、如其生子、手無所有、

居於荒涼之邑、無人居處、將為邱墟之第、不得富有、其業不恆、其物產不增盛於地、

蓋彼虐遇貧民、而遺棄之、強據第宅、不得建立、以其中心無厭、故所悅者、無一存留、所遺無不吞噬、故其昌盛弗久、當富有充裕時、必遭艱窘、困苦之人、咸加手於其身、
