我雖以書遺爾、非因枉人者、亦非因枉於人者、惟令爾為我之慇懃顯於爾中、在上帝前、

明責愈於隱愛、友朋加傷、乃由忠信、仇敵接吻、則顯頻煩、

爾其傾聽、毋狂傲、此乃耶和華之言也、幽暗未至、爾足未躓於晦冥之山、所望之光、未變為死亡之陰翳、深沈之昏黑以先、當歸榮於爾上帝耶和華、如爾不聽、我將為爾狂傲、背人而泣、我目流涕痛哭、以耶和華之羣羊被虜也、

我為爾靈、欣然委身盡己矣、我愈愛爾、而愈鮮見愛乎、

昔我遺書使爾憂、雖曾悔之、今不悔矣、蓋知此書令爾憂者暫耳、今我喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生改悔、蓋爾憂乃依上帝旨、致爾無所受損於我儕、

蓋我屢告爾、今又涕泣告爾、多有所行與基督十架為敵者、

既近、見城、則為之哭、曰、倘爾於是日、知關乎平安之事則幸、但今隱於爾目矣、蓋日將至、爾敵必築壘環爾、四週困爾、且擲爾及爾中子女於地、不遺一石於石上、以爾不知眷顧爾之日也、○

我以上帝之眷戀、眷戀於爾、蓋我已聘爾於一夫、如貞女焉、以獻於基督也、

我有大憂、痛心不已、即為兄弟骨肉之親、見絕於基督、亦所願也、

我目出涕若川流、因人不守爾律兮、○

勿憾同儔、必責人非、免負其罪、勿報仇、勿怨宗族、宜愛人如己、我乃耶和華也、
