「所以，你們明理的人要聽我，上帝斷不致行惡，全能者斷不致不義。

故爾智者、其聽我言、上帝決不為惡、全能者斷不作孽、

維爾智者、請聽我言、寧有全能上帝、而行非義哉。

今爾曹有慧心者、請聽我言、天主斷不行非善、全能之主斷不行非義、

“ So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

“ Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

“ Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin! The Almighty can do no wrong.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, And from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God,[ that he should do] wickedness; and[ from] the Almighty,[ that he should commit] iniquity.

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

“祂是磐石，祂的作为完美，祂按公义行事，祂信实可靠，公平正直。

这样看来，我们该怎么下结论呢？难道上帝不公平吗？当然不是！

你绝不会黑白不分，把义人和恶人一同毁灭。你是普天下的审判者，难道不秉公行事吗？”

上帝岂会歪曲正义？全能者岂会颠倒是非？

当然不会！纵然人人都撒谎，上帝仍然真实可靠。正如圣经上说：“你的判语证明你是公义的；你虽被人控告，却终必得胜。”我姑且用人的观点说：“如果我们的不义可以反衬出上帝的公义，我们该做何论？上帝向我们发怒是祂不公正吗？”

现在你们应当敬畏耶和华，谨慎办事，因为我们的上帝耶和华毫无不义，不偏待人，不受贿赂。”

谁能为祂指定道路？谁能说祂行事不义？

和有夫之妇通奸的，实在愚不可及，他是自寻死路。

宣扬说：“耶和华公正无私，祂是我的磐石，祂里面毫无不义。”

耶和华啊，每次我与你争论，都显明你是对的。然而，我还是对你的公正有所不解：为什么恶人总是得势？为什么诡诈之人反而生活安逸？

我们无法测度全能者，祂充满能力，无比正直公义，不恃强凌弱。

当人受到诱惑时，不可说：“是上帝在诱惑我。”因为上帝不受邪恶的诱惑，也不诱惑人。

不受管教就是轻看自己，听从责备才能得到智慧。

明达的人和听我发言的智者都会说，

“各位智者，请听我言；明达之士，要侧耳听我的话。因为耳朵辨别话语，正如舌头品尝食物。
