惟王違棄耆老之謀、與侍其前、偕己同長之少者謀、

王弗聽、有少者、與王年相若、侍於王側、王與之議、

王不從老者之謀、乃與侍其前、偕己同長之少者議、曰、

But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.

But Rehoboam didn’t accept the advice the elders gave him. Instead, he asked for advice from the young men. They had grown up with him and were now serving him.

But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

你要聽勸言，接受管教，使你所行的有智慧。

王卻棄絕了老年人給他出的主意，反而和那些跟他一齊長大、侍立在他面前的少年人商議，

你們反而規避我所有的勸告，不情願接受我的勸責，

因此永恆主向亞瑪謝發怒，就差遣一個神言人來見他，對他說：『這一族民的神既不能援救自己的人民脫離你的手、你為甚麼還尋求他們呢？』神言人向王說話的時候，王對他說：『我們何曾立你做參謀呢？你止住、別說吧！為甚麼硬要被打死呢？』那神言人就止住了；可又再說：『我知道上帝是定下了主意要滅絕你的，因為你行這事，不聽我給你出的主意。』

他們不情願聽我的勸告；我的勸責他們都藐視；

智慧人的心向右；愚頑人的心向左。愚昧人連行路時心思也全失了；論到每一個人他都說：「那是個愚昧人」。

要使人曉得智慧和練達之事，能了解明達的訓言，能領受訓練於明智的處事，有公義和公平與正直，能使愚直人精明，使少年人有知識和謀略——智慧人聽了，可以增長心得；明達人聽了，可以獲得技能，

智慧人的勸責在聽從的人耳中、如金耳環或黃金的妝飾品。
