654:1
V ers. 6. — Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius. 10. Iniquorum gaudium cito deficit. Supra ipsos est gaudium; justorum infra. — Si plerumque tristi- tiam tenebras accipimus, non immerito lucem ac- cipere gaudium debemus. Lux ergo in tabernaculo illius tenebrescit, quia in ejus conscientia, quam male inhabitat, gaudium quod de temporalibus rebus fuerat deficit. Unde et apte subjungitur: I bid. — Et lucerna quae super eum est exstinguetur. [ Vet. IV.] Ut enim de usu multorum loquar, lu- cerna lumen in testa est, lumen vero in testa est gaudium in carne.
Verse 6. — The light shall be darkened in his tabernacle. 10. The joy of the unrighteous quickly fails. Their joy is above them; the joy of the righteous is beneath. — If we very often take sadness for darkness, not without reason ought we to take joy for light. The light therefore is darkened in his tabernacle, because in his conscience, which he inhabits so ill, the joy which he had drawn from temporal things fails. Whence it is also fitly subjoined: Same verse. — And the lamp that is over him shall be extinguished. To speak, indeed, according to the usage of many, a lamp is a light in an earthen vessel, and the light in the earthen vessel is joy in the flesh.
第六節。——他帳棚裏的光必變為黑暗。十、不義者的喜樂速速衰殘。他們的喜樂在其上；義人的喜樂在其下。——我們既常以憂愁為黑暗，那麼以喜樂為光就不無道理。所以他帳棚裏的光變為黑暗，因為在他所惡劣居住的良心中，他從屬世之物所得的喜樂衰殘了。故此又恰當地補充說：同節。——在他以上的燈必熄滅。若照許多人的說法，燈就是瓦器中的光，而瓦器中的光，就是肉體中的喜樂。
654:2
Lucerna ergo quae super eum est exstinguitur, quia cum malorum suorum retributio impium sequitur, in ejus mente gaudium carnale dissipatur. Bene autem de lucerna hac non dicitur quae apud eum est, sed quae super eum est, quia iniquorum mentem terrena gaudia possident, sicque eam in voluptatibus absorbent, ut super ipsam sint, non apud ipsam. Justi autem etiam cum prosperita- tem vitae praesentis habent, eam sub semetipsis pre- mere noverunt, ut hoc quod apud se in bonis hila- rescunt, gravitatis consilio transeant, et virtutis re- gimine excedant. Lucerna ergo impii quae super eum est exstinguitur, quia citius ejus gaudium deficit, quod eum totum in hac vita possedit.
The lamp therefore that is over him is extinguished, because when the recompense of his evils follows the ungodly man, in his mind the carnal joy is dissipated. But it is well said of this lamp, not that it is with him, but that it is over him, because earthly joys possess the mind of the unrighteous, and so absorb it in pleasures that they are over it, not with it. But the righteous, even when they have the prosperity of the present life, know how to press it beneath themselves, so that what they rejoice in among their goods, they may pass by with the counsel of gravity, and surpass by the governance of virtue. The lamp therefore of the wicked, which is over him, is extinguished, because his joy, which possessed him wholly in this life, fails the more quickly.
所以在他以上的燈熄滅，因為當他惡行的報應臨到這不敬虔的人時，他心中屬肉體的喜樂便消散。但論到這燈，說得好：不說是在他那裏，乃說是在他以上，因為屬地的喜樂佔據不義之人的心思，並使它沉溺於逸樂，以致這些喜樂在它之上，而非在它那裏。但義人縱有今生的亨通，卻曉得將它壓在自己之下，好使他們在自己的福分中所歡喜的，藉持重的智慮而過去，藉德行的治理而超越。所以惡人在他以上的燈熄滅，因為那在今生完全佔據他的喜樂，速速衰殘。
654:3
Et qui nunc male se in voluptatibus dilatat, eum post in suppli- ciis poena coangustat. Unde adhuc subditur:
And he who now ill dilates himself in pleasures, him punishment afterward straitens in torments. Whence it is still further added:
如今在逸樂中惡劣地放縱自己的人，日後刑罰要在痛苦中把他緊縮。故此又進一步接著說：
