既得默示甚多、恐我自高、故加刺於我身、即撒但之使擊我、免我自高、

又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役要攻击我，免得我过于自高。

又恐怕我因所得的启示太高深，就过于高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役来折磨我，免得我过于高抬自己。

又恐怕我因所得的启示太高深，就过于高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役来折磨我，免得我过于高抬自己。

为了使我不至于因所受的启示太大而自高，有一根“刺”在我身上，就是有撒旦的爪牙攻击我，免得我骄傲自大。

又因为我所得的启示太大，恐怕会高抬自己，所以就有一根刺加在我的身上，就是撒但的差役来攻击我，免得我高抬自己。

為了使我不至於因所受的啟示太大而自高，有一根「刺」在我身上，就是有撒旦的爪牙攻擊我，免得我驕傲自大。

又因為我所得的啟示太大，恐怕會高抬自己，所以就有一根刺加在我的身上，就是撒但的差役來攻擊我，免得我高抬自己。

故此、為要使我不至於因這些啓示之高超性而過於高抬自己，便有一種刺痛給了我、在肉身上、就是撒但的使者、來折磨我，免得我過於高抬自己。

並且為了不讓我因這些極大的啟示而高抬自己，有一根刺加在我的肉體上，就是撒旦的使者來擊打我，免得我高抬自己。

且以啟示莫大之故、恐我自高過甚、加刺於我身、即撒但之役擊我、免我自高過甚也、

蓋莫大此默示、恐我自高、故身受刺、任撒但之役擊我、使我不得自高、

且主亦恐我以受此特達之啟示、而驕矜自慢也；故容沙殫加我以肉身上之痛楚、有如芒刺之着體、蓋不欲吾之得意而忘形耳。

付此人於撒但、以敗其身、使其靈魂、於主耶穌基督之日得救、○

既心驕氣傲、剛愎自用、乃黜王位、去其尊榮、

若爾不驅逐斯地之居民、爾所存留者、必為爾目中之荊、脇下之刺、必擾害爾於爾所居之地、

今我有言曰、必不驅逐斯民於爾前、被為荊棘於爾脇、或作為攻爾之敵彼之諸神、必陷爾於網羅、

然希西家不報答主恩、中心驕傲、故主向彼與猶大及耶路撒冷震怒、後、希西家除其驕心、與耶路撒冷居民自卑、故希西家存日、主不降之以災、○

強盛則心驕、以招禍患、干犯主其天主、擅入主殿、欲焚香於焚香臺、

甫入教者、不可為以毘司可普、恐其自高、陷於魔之罪、與魔同刑、

爾知昔我身弱、傳福音與爾、

撒但退於主前、使約百患惡瘡、自踵至頂、

巴比倫王遣使見希西家詢國中所遇之異跡、斯時主暫離希西家、以試其心、

俾不心驕藐視同族人、不向左不向右偏離誡命、則可在以色列人中久居王位、爰及其子孫、

遂心高氣傲、忘主爾之天主、昔導爾出伊及爾為奴之地、

以色列族、為四周之民所藐視、藐視或作恨惡向之如刺人之荊、損人之棘、今而後不復受其害、彼則知我乃主天主、

凡諸計謀、諸傲慢、自高而逆天主道者、悉敗之、且以人之心志奪回、或作且擄人之心志使服基督、

若有人役爾、吞爾、刧爾、自驕而慢爾、批爾頰、爾則容之、

其人見己不勝、則擊雅各之股、雅各與角力時、其股受傷、或作其股脫於穴

眾遂唾其面、且拳擊之、又有手批其頰者、

雅各過毘努伊勒時、日方出、股傷而跛、

至於今、我儕饑渴、裸身、受撻、靡有定處、

況此婦為亞伯拉罕之裔、撒但繫之已十八年、不當於安息日解其結乎、
