恤貧者乃貸於耶和華、必如其善行而償之、

彼散財、彼濟貧、其義永存、其角以榮高舉兮、

予則見予、且以巨量、按之、撼之、溢之、納爾懷中、蓋爾以何量而量、將以復量於爾、○

作惡者、其值乃虛、播義者、其賚有定、

歷時如是之久、人至穀堆、冀得二十、僅得其十、人至酒油、望得五十、僅得二十、耶和華曰、我以暴風毒黴大雹、擊爾於爾手之工作、而爾猶不歸我、請爾追思、此日以前、即自九月二十四日、立耶和華殿基時、爾其念之、倉廩尚有穀種乎、葡萄、無花果、石榴、橄欖諸樹、俱未結實、自今以後、我必錫嘏於爾、○

故擬須請兄弟先詣爾、使爾昔所允之惠、預為之備、俾由樂輸、非由勉強也、○夫少稼少穡、多稼多穡、宜各隨心志、毋憂毋強、蓋上帝愛夫樂施者也、上帝能沛諸恩於爾、令爾萬事恆足、溢於諸善、如經云、彼散財矣、彼濟貧矣、其義永存、主賜種與播者、賜糧與食者、所賜者將倍爾所播之種、增爾行義之實、俾爾凡事富有、得以博施、致人由我儕而謝上帝、

爾必給之、給時心不憂鬱、為此之故、爾上帝耶和華、必於凡爾所行、及手所為、錫嘏於爾、

朝宜播爾種、夕勿罷爾手、緣爾不知彼此孰茂、或二者俱佳、

爾播多而穫少、食不得飽、飲不得足、衣不得暖、傭獲其值、盛於敝囊、

投爾糧於水面、歷多日必得之、分給於七人八人、以爾不知將有何災降於地也、

爾望多而得少、攜之而歸、我則噓之、萬軍之耶和華曰、此何故耶、因我室荒涼、爾各亟於己室也、以爾之故、天靳其露、地靳其果、我命旱乾臨於斯土山岡、穀酒與油、暨地所產、其人與畜、爰及爾手勞而得者、○
