耶和華之使者曰、萬有之主耶和華與、歷七十年、爾怒耶路撒冷與猶大諸邑、毫無矜憫、伊於何底、

蓋上帝國不在飲食、惟義與和、與聖神賜我之樂、行此而服基督者、為上帝所喜、世人所悅、

於是、或食或飲、不論何為、必歸榮上帝而為之、

耶和華曰、恆獻禮物、與我何與、爾燔牡綿羊、焚肥畜之膋、我所厭惡、牛犢羔羊、牡山羊之血、我不悅懌。爾來覲我、穢我帷場、誰命之者。

是爾禁食、依然作惡、與人爭競、揮拳敺擊、夫如是豈得升聞於上哉。爾禁食之時、卑以自牧、屈抑若蘆、身衣麻布、坐於塗炭、我耶和華豈悅此乎。為強暴故拘繫者、當縱之自逸、釋人重負、伸人屈抑、折人衡軛、禁食若此、我何不喜。

守日者為主、不守日者亦為主、食者為主、故謝上帝、不食者為主、亦謝上帝、吾人無為己而生、亦無為己而死、蓋生為主、死亦為主也、故或生或死、莫非屬主、基督死而復生、為生者死者之主、

四方列國必致荒蕪、使人駭愕、惟彼億兆、服事巴比倫王、歷七十年。

爾祈禱時、毋若偽善、喜立會堂交衢祈禱、令人見之、我誠告爾、彼已得其賞矣、

四五七十月間、猶大家禁食之時、將為欣喜歡忭之節期、惟爾所專務者、真實和平而已、我萬有之主耶和華已言之矣。

其行事、欲以見於人而為之、且闊其佩經、大其衣裾、

凡所為者宜專心、事人即以事主、

如是、爾光當照乎人、俾見爾善行、歸榮爾天父焉、○勿以我來壞律法及先知也、我來非以壞之、乃以成之、我誠告爾、天地未廢、律法一點一畫不能廢、皆得成焉、

爾之飲食、非為口腹計哉、

爾禁食時、毋若偽善作憂容、彼變色、以禁食示人、我誠告爾、彼已得其賞矣、
