行惡於耶和華前、效父初年所為、凡父所作之偶像、亞門祭祀崇事之、

往迓亞撒、告之曰、亞撒及猶大、便雅憫二族、其聽我言、如爾從耶和華、則蒙其祐、求之無弗得、遺之必見棄。

民雖奉其上帝耶和華、誤獻祭於崇坵。

愛我者我亦愛之、汲汲求我者、必得之。

大闢王告會眾曰、我子所羅門、尚在弱齡、上帝特遴選之、工作甚鉅、蓋殿非為人也、乃為上帝耶和華。

爾自幼識聖經、因而有智、信基督耶穌得救、

在耶路撒冷、獻祭之壇、焚香之壇、民去之、投於汲淪溪、惟耶和華之壇存焉。

王命祭司長希勒家、及祭司之次者、暨閽人、取所奉巴力亞大綠及天象之器皿、出耶和華殿、燬於耶路撒冷外、汲淪田間、攜其灰至伯特利。

廢諸崇坵、毀其像、斫其偶、昔摩西所作之銅蛇、迄今以色列人焚香以奉事。希西家曰、此無非為尼忽旦耳、遂碎之。

毀其像、斫其偶、以骸骨充其所。

大闢曰、我子所羅門、尚在弱齡、必為耶和華建殿、矞皇顯麗、萬國播揚、我必為之備。於是大闢存日、預備之物、不可悉數、

惟上帝之國與義是求、則此物自加諸爾、

指壇而呼曰、嗟乎此壇、耶和華有命云、大闢之家必挺生一子、名約西亞、取崇邱之祭司、焚香於是壇者、獻於壇上、亦取死者之骨、焚於此壇。

年當少壯、必及時敬造化之主、宜憶勿忘、斯時也、患難憂愁之日尚未至。

人自幼稚、欲飭其行為、當如之何、惟謹守爾道、斯乃可兮、

爾造日象、築崇邱、我必毀之、棄爾尸骸、以及偶像、共相枕藉、我中心憾爾、

我子所羅門、宜知爾父之上帝、誠心悅意事之、蓋耶和華鑒察人心、知悉人意、求之無弗得、遺之永見棄。
