主之使者曰、萬有之主歟、歷七十年、主怒耶路撒冷與猶大諸邑、主不施矜憫、將至何時、

蓋天主國不在飲食、乃在義與和與聖神所賜之樂也、以此而事基督者、為天主所悅、為世人所善、

故爾曹或食或飲、無論何為、皆當為榮天主而為、

主云、爾獻多祭、與我何益、以牡綿羊獻為火焚祭、及肥畜之脂、為我所厭、牛血、羔血、牡山羊之血、非我所悅、爾來覲我、誰索此於爾、爾惟踐踏我之院宇、

爾曹禁食、依然相爭相競、逞兇揮拳毆擊、爾今如此禁食、爾呼籲之聲、必不升聞於上、爾呼籲之聲必不升聞於上或作並非欲爾呼籲之聲升聞於上人自刻苦、垂頭如葦、以麻布塵埃為床、如是禁食之日、豈我所悅乎、爾豈可稱為禁食乎、可視為主所悅之日乎、釋兇暴之繩、解欺壓之索、釋受虐者、折一切壓人之軛、如是之禁食、始為我所悅、

守日者為主而守、不守者為主而不守、食者為主而食、因感謝天主、不食者為主而不食、亦感謝天主、我儕無人為己而生、亦無人為己而死、蓋我生為主而生、我死為主而死、故或生或死、皆屬主、基督死而復生、為欲使其為生者死者之主、

萬有之主如是云、四月禁食之日、五月禁食之日、七月禁之日、十月禁食之日、將在猶大族中、變為歡樂欣喜之日、變為佳良之節期、惟爾當好真實與和平、

其行事故欲使人見、闊其經匣、長其衣繸、

爾飲食、非為己而食、為己而飲哉、

爾禁食禁食或作守齋下同時、毋作憂容、似偽善者、彼變顏色、為示人以己之禁食、我誠告爾、彼已得其賞、
