鞭子是為打馬，嚼環是為勒驢豫備的；刑杖是為打愚頑人的背脊而設的。

所以你們要順服上帝，抵擋魔鬼，魔鬼就逃避你們。你們親近上帝，上帝就親近你們。罪人哪，潔淨你們的手吧；心懷二意的人哪，使你們的心清潔吧。你們要愁苦，要哀慟，要哭泣。讓你們的喜笑變為哀慟吧；你們的喜樂變為意氣銷沉吧！你們要在主面前自己謙卑，主就使你們升高。

他教導我們多於教導地上的走獸，使我們比空中的飛鳥聰明、能曉得他在哪裏」。

我留心聽了又聽，但人都說不對的話；沒有人後悔自己的惡行，說：「我作的是甚麼？」他們各人都轉離而跑自己的路程，就像馬在戰場上橫衝直撞。連空中的鸛鳥也知道牠來去的定期；斑鳩燕子與白鶴也守候當來的時令；我的人民卻不知道永恆主的法則。

我真地聽見以法蓮在為自己悲歎着說：「你督責了我，我便受督責，像訓練未馴的牛犢一樣；使我返回哦，我便得以返回，因為你是永恆主我的上帝。
