訓迪智人、則其智日加、指示義人、則其學日進。

彼使先見者、毋庸明察、睹異象者、不以正道相勉、而以柔媚之詞相告、以虛誕之理相傳、

智者心增明慧、耳聽至道。

務得恩賜有加、深知吾救主耶穌基督道、願榮光歸之、垂諸後世、

其人賢於帖撒羅尼迦人、以其願安受道、惟日玩索經文、果有此語否、

所羅門曰、昔我父大闢、真實無妄、行善為義於爾前、爾施厚恩、使子繼其位、今日之事為證。我之上帝耶和華以臣僕為王、代父大闢、我尚幼沖、不知治民、爾所簡之民甚眾、不可勝數、爾之臣僕居於其中、孰能聽訟於斯眾之間乎、故祈爾使僕聰慧、可辨是非、為民折中。耶和華聞所羅門所祈、而悅其言、謂之曰、爾不求遐齡、巨富、勝敵、乃求聰慧、可以聽訟、我則許爾所求、以智慧之心錫汝、爾之前未有若是、爾之後亦不能若是。

以法蓮族詭詐暴虐、日甚一日、與亞述人結約、貢油於埃及、猶之餐風而追東風、

爾有律法、我愛之甚切、懷思竟晷兮、

智者彌藏其智、愚者自顯其愚。

哲者聞此而增其學、明者聞此而益其慧。

我恪守爾道、故較老成、尤明晰兮、

彼心昏迷、所望成空、若食燼餘而不悟、不知右手所作、悉屬虛妄。
