我見人經營勞碌、知皆為天主所定、

必汗流被面、始可得食、直至爾歸所出之土、爾本為土、必復歸於土、

不如專心考辨、何為智慧、何為癡頑、何為愚蒙、乃知此亦如捕風、

我專心求智慧、遍覽世間所作之事、見有人晝夜不寢、未遑合目、我觀天主之經綸、知人不能明日下所有之事、雖勞以求之、亦不能得、即智者曰、我可知之、終亦不能得、

我轉而思之、專心欲得知識、欲究萬事、欲求智慧明哲、且欲知何為惡、何為愚、何為拙、何為狂、且欲知何為惡何為愚何為拙何為狂或作且欲知惡之為愚拙之為狂

我觀世人勞碌經營、皆緣彼此相妒、此亦屬於虛、皆如捕風、

傾耳聽智慧言、專心求明哲、呼求明理、聲言欲得明哲、索之若銀、尋之若寶、

天主所悅者、賜以智慧、知識、歡樂、獲罪於天主者、天主則畀以收斂積蓄之任、終歸於天主所悅者用、此亦屬於虛、亦如捕風、

哲者之心、求得知識、智者之耳、欲聽道學、

主之作為、極其廣大、凡樂之者、皆必考察、

我子、當一心歸我、爾目當注注或作悅我示爾之道、

終日憂愁、諸事煩惱、其心夜亦不安、此亦屬於虛、

智慧為首善、務必購求、在所欲得之中、以明哲為要、

凡此我嘗見之、我專心詳觀日下所作之事、有時人轄人、致人受害、有時人轄人致人受害或作有時人轄人致自受害

爾當念此而專務之、使爾上達、明顯於眾、

我子、當以此為戒、或作當由此學道著書多則功難竟、閱書多則體疲倦、

與眾俱異者、惟縱己欲、所行衝冒、違諸善謀、
