2 人若和你講話,你能忍受嗎﹖但誰又能忍住不說﹖

4 你的話扶起了跌倒的人,堅固了膝弱無力的人;

6 你敬畏天主之情,豈不是你的依靠﹖你完善的行為,豈不是你的希望﹖
not fear your confidence your hope your and integrity way: conduct your
7 請想:那有無辜者喪亡﹖那有正直者消逝﹖
to remember please who? he/she/it innocent to perish and where? upright to hide

17 人豈能在天主前自以為義﹖在造他者前,自以為潔﹖
human from god to justify if: surely no from to make him be pure great man
18 看,他的僕役,他還不信;他的使者,他還歸罪,
look! in/on/with servant/slave his not be faithful and in/on/with messenger: angel his to set: make error
19 何況那以泥屋為居所,以塵土為基礎的人! 他們為人踐踏,有如蠹蟲;
