『你哪是頭一個生下來的人呢？你被產出、是在岡陵之先麼？

“你岂是头一个被生的人吗？你受造在诸山之先吗？

“你是头一个生下来的人吗？你受造在诸山之先吗？

“你是头一个生下来的人吗？你受造在诸山之先吗？

爾為首生之人乎、爾之受造、先於山乎、

生人之始豈爾乎、有山以前豈爾乎。

爾生於世、豈首人乎、爾受造豈在有山以前乎、

諸山未曾生出，地和世界未曾產生，從亙古到永遠、你乃是上帝。

在永恆主行化之起頭、他就造了我，做他從太初所作的頭一項。從亙古、從起初、從地之起點開始以前，他就立了我。沒有深淵、沒有浩瀚之水的泉源以先，我已誕生。大山未曾奠下，小山未有之先，我已誕生；

『上帝奠定大地時、你在哪裏？你若領會明達，只管訴說。你一定知道；是誰定地的尺度，是誰把準繩拉於地上。地的基礎奠於何物之上？地的角石是誰安放的？那時晨星一同呼喊，眾神子都歡呼。『大海衝出，從胎裏出來時，誰早設門戶將海閉住呢？那時我以雲彩當海的服裝，以暗霧當包裹的布；我為它定了界限，安設門閂門戶，說：「你只可到這裏，不可再進；你狂傲的波浪到這裏要止息住』？『從你生日以來、你何曾吩咐過早晨，使天亮知道它的本位，叫亮光抓住地的四角，將惡人抖掉呢？何曾使地面煥然改觀，如泥土上印着印章，染上色彩像衣服呢？何曾使光被收回、不照着惡人；使強橫高舉的膀臂都被折斷呢？『你曾進過海的淵源，或在深淵隱密處來往過麼？死亡的門曾為你開啓過麼？漆黑的門戶你曾見過麼？地的廣闊你曾領會過麼？你若全知道，只管訴說。『亮光之住處、其路在哪裏？黑暗呢、其地方在哪裏？你好帶到其境界，好看明到它家的路徑麼？你總知道的，因為那時你早已生下來！你年日的數目又大！『你進過雪庫，或見過雹倉麼？這雪雹乃是我所存貯，以備降災之時，交鋒爭戰之日的：你見過麼？霧氣從哪一路分開，東風從哪一路分散於地上呢？『誰為大雨水破分水道？為雷電開路線？使雨下於無人之地，無人居住的曠野，使窮荒淒涼之地得以豐足，渴澤之地能生嫩草呢？『雨有父親麼？露水珠是誰生的？冰出於誰的胎？天上的霜、是誰生的？諸水凝結如石頭，深淵上面蓋滿了冰。『你能繫住昴星的結麼？能解開參星的帶麼？你能按時引出十二宮星系，領導北斗和隨它的眾星麼？你知道天的定例麼？你能立它的統治權於地上麼？『你能向雲彩揚起聲來，使洶湧的水淹沒着你麼？你能打發閃電、叫它們走去，使它們對你說：「我們在這裏」麼？誰將智慧放給朱鷺？誰將明達賜給雄雞呢？塵土凝固如鑄造物，泥塊緊緊膠結，誰能用智慧去數算煙雲，將天上水袋傾倒下來呢？

亞當和妻子夏娃同房，夏娃就懷孕，生了該隱，便說：『由於永恆主的庇佑我得了一個男兒』；

我們中間有白頭髮的，有年紀老的，歲數比你父親還大呢。

你說年老的有智慧，長壽的有明哲。
