得智慧愈於得金、獲明哲愈於獲銀、

我之果實、愈於黃金精金、我之出產、愈於佳銀、

利盡天下、而失其生、何益之有、人將以何者易其生乎、

我以爾法度為永業、蓋為我心所悅兮、

其值人不之知、生人之地、亦不得見、深淵曰、不在我中、滄海曰、不與我偕、不能以金購之、不能衡銀、以為其值、俄斐之金、紅玉碧玉、不足較其值、黃金琉璃、不能為其匹、精金之器、不足與之易、珊瑚水晶、俱無足論、智慧之值、愈於珍珠、古實黃玉、不足與之比、精金不足較其值、

寧受我訓、不受白銀、宜得知識、勝於精金、蓋智慧愈於珍珠、凡可慕者、無足比擬、

爾口所諭之律、在我愈於金銀千萬兮、○

尋之如銀、索之如寶、

我悅爾言、如大獲虜物兮、

上帝諭所羅門曰、我立爾為我民之王、爾有此心、不求資財、富有、尊榮、壽考、亦不求滅敵之命、惟求聰明智慧、能聽我民之訟、我以聰明智慧錫爾、更賜資財、富有尊榮、爾前之王、未有若此、爾後之王、亦未有若此者也、

我誠以萬事為損、因識我主基督耶穌為更美、且為彼已損萬事、視為糞土、致可得乎基督、而恆在其中、非以自乎律者為己之義、乃由信基督之義、即以信而自乎上帝者、

我為爾謀、宜向我市火煉之金、致得富、市白衣自衣、致爾裸體之羞不露、市目膏以膏爾目、致得見、
