宜購真理、智慧訓誨明哲、而勿鬻之、

惰者手不操作、為其願欲所殺、有人終日貪求、義者施舍不吝、

哲人之心得知識、智者之耳求知識、

往告此民曰、爾將聽而不聰、視而不明、蓋斯民心頑、耳聵、自閉其目、恐目視、耳聽、心悟、轉移而我醫之、

惟我民不聽我聲、以色列不納我兮、我則任其剛愎厥心、依己所謀而行兮、深願我民聽我、以色列遵行我道兮、

侮慢者求智弗獲、明哲者知識易得、

曰、樸拙者好樸拙、侮慢者樂侮慢、愚蠢者惡知識、將至何時乎、我加斥責、爾當回轉、我將以我靈注爾、以我言示爾、

人歟、我向爾曹呼召、我向世人揚聲、爾曹庸人、當知聰睿、愚者心宜通明、

淫行陳酒新釀、乃奪人心、

蓋凡為惡者、惡光而不就之、恐其所行見責、

保羅巴拿巴毅然曰、上帝道宜先宣於爾、而爾棄之、自擬不堪得永生、我儕轉向異邦人矣、

願其存心畏我、恆守我誡、俾受福祉、爰及子孫、歷世靡暨、

我儕與主同勞者、勸爾勿徒受上帝恩、

凡口渴者、其來就水、無金者來購而食之、來沾酒乳、不需金、不索值、不足為糧者、胡權金以市之、不能果腹者、胡勤勞以得之、其謹聽我、而食嘉肴、且飫肥甘、致心悅懌、側耳就我、諦聽我言、則可得生、我與爾立永約、即所許大衛之實惠、

誰為庸人、可轉而入此、謂無知者曰、來食我餅、飲我所調之酒、維爾庸人、離庸愚、得生存、行於明哲之路、○
