現在，不要因你們把我賣到這裡而自憂自恨；要知道，是神在你們之前派遣了我，為要拯救生命。如今，這地已經有兩年的饑荒，還會有五年既沒有耕種，也沒有收成。神在你們之前派遣了我，為要在地上給你們存留餘種，並要大施解救，使你們得以存活。這樣看來，派遣我到這裡來的，不是你們，而是神。他立我作法老之父，作他全家之主，又作埃及全地的管轄者。

看哪！主萬軍之耶和華快要從耶路撒冷和猶大除掉人所依靠和所依賴的，就是所依靠的一切糧和一切水；除掉勇士和戰士、審判官和先知、占卜者和長老、五十夫長和尊貴人、謀士和有技藝的工匠，以及精通法術的。我要使孩子作他們的首領，使頑童管轄他們。百姓將彼此欺壓，這人欺壓那人，各人欺壓自己的鄰人；少年人侮慢老年人，卑微人侮慢尊貴人。人必在他的父家拉住自己的兄弟，說：「你有一件外衣，就作我們的統領吧！這破敗的一攤就歸你手下了。」那時，他兄弟必揚聲說：「我不是包紮者，我家裡沒有糧食，也沒有外衣。你們不要立我作百姓的統領。」

因此，王啊，願我的勸告蒙你悅納：請你藉著施行公義斷絕你的罪惡，藉著恩待受苦人斷絕你的罪孽，或許你的安穩可以延長。」

城中有一個貧寒的智慧人，他用智慧救了那城；然而沒有人記念那個貧寒人。
