『他使我族弟兄跟我遠離；我所認識的人全和我生疏。我的至親盡都絕跡，我的知己都忘記我。我家的寄居者和我的婢女都拿我當別人；在他們看來、我就等於外人。我呼喚我的僕人，他不回答；我竟得親口向他懇求。我的氣味惹我妻子生厭；我同母弟兄也嫌厭我。

我的弟兄浮躁無恆像溪水，像溪水流過的河床。這溪水因結冰而溷濁，有雪藏於其中。幾時被曬暖，溪水就化沒了；炎熱時、溪水便從原處乾涸了。結伴的行路人順河扭轉了路，上到荒蕪之地就死去。提瑪結伴的行路人瞻望着，示巴旅行的同夥痴等着。他們因所瞻望的而失望，到了那裏便周章狼狽。現在你們對於我正是這樣；你們看見可怕的事便懼怕。我何曾說：「請供給我」？或說：「從你們的財力中送私禮給我」呢？我何曾說：「請搭救我脫離敵人的手」？或說：「請贖救我脫離強橫人的手」呢？
