5-16:16
Ὡς πρὸς τὸν διάβολον· Γενναῖος εἶ, ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἐρωτήσω σε. οὐ πιστεύεις με εἶναί σου σοφώτερον, ἀλλ οἴει μέγας εἶναι νοῦς; οὕτω γὰρ καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἡσαίου λέλεκται ὁ διάβολος· ἐπάξω ἐπὶ τὸν νοῦν τὸν μέγαν, τὸν ἄρχ·οντα τῶν Ἀσσυρίων. λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ· Ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου. οὐ ζώννυται δέ. ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀποκρίθητι. — ὁ δὲ οὐ δύνατι αὐτῷ ἀποκριθῆναι, τίς γὰρ ἔγνω νοῦν κυρίου; ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτῷ εγενετο
As though to the devil: 'You are noble—gird up your loins like a man, and I will question you.' You do not believe me to be wiser than you, but think yourself to be a great mind? For thus also the devil is spoken of by Isaiah: 'I will bring upon the great mind, the ruler of the Assyrians.' He says to him therefore: 'Gird up your loins like a man.' But he does not gird himself. 'And I will question you, and you answer me.'—But he is not able to answer him; for 'who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counselor?'
如同對魔鬼說：「你既高貴，就當像勇士束腰，我要問你。」你不信我比你更有智慧，反倒自以為是個大心思麼？因為以賽亞也是這樣論到魔鬼的：「我必懲罰那大心思，就是亞述的首領。」所以他對牠說：「你當像勇士束腰。」牠卻不束腰。「我要問你，你可以回答我。」——但牠不能回答他；因為「誰知道主的心思呢？誰作過他的謀士呢？」
