求主思之、昔造我身如和土然、今欲使我歸塵乎、

耶和華天主以土造人、以生氣噓入其鼻、而人成為生靈、

必汗流被面、始可得食、直至爾歸所出之土、爾本為土、必復歸於土、

在天主前、爾我無異、我亦由土而成、

亞伯拉罕曰、我雖若灰塵、敢告主、

使我身朽如腐爛之物、如被蠧之衣、

我知此我屬地之幕屋既壞、則有天主所造、非人手所造之屋、永遠在天、

爾所視為箴言、以為後人必記憶、實如飛灰然、爾之所辯、自以為確實、乃如塵土然、

但我有此寶藏於土器、使人知此莫大之能、非由我、乃由天主也、

主使人逝世如水之流、亦使之如睡、青年如草、速然凋殘、清晨生發、隨即衰殘、至暮刈割、便皆枯槁、我儕因主震怒、幾至消亡、因主施威、皆甚驚惶、

主因愆尤罰人、人之精華消損、如被蟲蝕、世人固為虛幻、細拉、

彼未及期而見除、洪水沖沒其基、

世人之歲月如草、其生發如野地之花、一經風吹、便歸無有、其原處亦不復識之、

經載云、凡有血氣者如草、人之諸榮如草之花、草枯花謝、

人身為塵、仍歸於土、靈魂為天主所賦畀、仍歸於天主、

其氣一斷、即歸塵埃、其計謀即日泯滅、

如花之發生、頃刻枯槁、如影之奔馳、不能停留、
