良言若蜜、既甘且益。

智者忠告而善道之、使人順受、猶金製耳環物飾。

貴於琅玕、凡所慕者、無能比儗。

義人之言如金煆煉、惡者之心有若渣滓。義者有道、可以養眾、愚人無慧、陷於死亡。

曰、未信之、何能龥之、未聞之、何能信之、不有傳之、何能聞之、不有遣之、何能傳乎、經云、傳諸和平、報諸嘉音者、其足音美何如耶、

斯智也、貴於琅玕、凡爾所欲、不得與之比儗。

言而有物、則自信也深、時然後言、則益人也大。

要其智慧聰明。不可得而測也。其價不可勝量、雖歷天下而無所得。索之深淵、深淵無有、求之滄海、滄海難遘。斯智也、金不得鬻、銀不能購。阿妃之金、碧玉青玉、無能相埒。琉璃精金、不能相易。珊瑚水晶、俱不足以介意、蓋智慧之價、過於琅玕。雖古實之淡黃玉、諸兼金不能沽也。

我既有智、教民以智、專心求道、陳述箴規。我所云嘉言也、所錄實語也、哲士之言、譬諸刺、譬諸釘、一主所諭、眾師所傳。

明心可以言慧、巽言可以輔人、

惡言勿出於口、言必善以輔德、益諸聽者、

獲智慧、愈於得金銀。

智者所播、惟以明哲、愚者則反是。
