잠언 24
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
24 악한 자들을 부러워하지 말고
그들과 어울릴 생각도 하지 말아라.
2 그들의 마음은 악한 일만 꾀하고
그들의 입술은 나쁜 일을 가져올 말만 한다.
3 훌륭한 집은 지혜로 지어지고
슬기로 튼튼해진다.
4 지식이 있어야
온갖 귀하고 아름다운 보화가 방마다 가득 찬다.
5 지혜로운 사람은 힘센 사람보다 강하고
지식이 있는 사람은 장사보다 강하다.
6 전략이 있어야 전쟁을 치를 수 있고
참모가 많아야 승리할 수 있다.
7 어리석은 사람이 깨닫기에는 지혜는 너무 높아
성문 앞 광장[a]에서는 입을 열지 못한다.
8 언제나 악한 일을 꾀하는 사람을 모략가라고 부른다.
9 어리석은 사람의 모의는 언제나 죄짓는 일뿐이며
빈정꾼은 사람들의 미움을 살 뿐이다.
10 어려운 일을 당할 때 약한 모습을 보이면
너는 정말로 약한 사람이다.
11 죽을 곳으로 끌려가는 사람을 구해 내고
죽임을 당할 사람을 돕는 데 주저하지 말아라.
12 너는 “이봐, 나는 그것을 몰랐어.” 하고 말할지라도
마음을 살피시는 분께서 어찌 모르시겠는가?
네 삶을 지켜보시는 분께서 다 알고 계시지 않겠는가?
주님은 그 행실대로 갚으시는 분이시다.
13 내 아들아
꿀을 먹어라. 그것은 좋은 것이다.
벌집에서 딴 꿀은 네 입에 아주 달다.
14 지혜도 네 삶에 그처럼 달다.
네가 지혜를 찾으면 너에게 밝은 미래가 있으며
너의 희망이 이루어질 것이다.
15 의로운 사람의 집을 노리고 강도처럼 숨어 기다리지 말고
그의 집을 털지 말아라.
16 의인은 일곱 번 넘어져도 다시 일어나지만
악한 자는 재앙을 만나면 망하고 만다.
17 네 원수가 넘어질 때 좋아하지 말고
그가 쓰러질 때 마음속으로 기뻐하지 말아라.
18 주께서 그것을 보시고 못마땅하게 여기셔서
네 원수에게로 향하던 노여움을 돌이키신다.
19 악한 짓을 하는 사람들 때문에 화를 내지 말고
악한 사람은 부러워하지도 말아라.
20 악한 자에게는 미래가 없고
그의 등불도 꺼지고 만다.
21 내 아들아
주님과 임금님을 섬기고 두려워하되
반역자들과는 사귀지 말아라.
22 그 두 분이 내리는 재앙은 갑작스러운 것이니
주님이나 임금님이 내릴 재앙을 누가 알겠는가?
다른 잠언들
23 이것도 지혜 있는 사람들의 말씀이다.
재판할 때 어느 편을 드는 것은 옳지 않다.
24 죄인을 “죄가 없다.”고 말하는 사람은
민족들의 저주를 받고
나라들의 비난을 받을 것이다.
25 그러나 죄인을 바로 가려내는 사람은
기쁨을 얻고
풍성한 복을 받을 것이다.
26 바른말을 해주는 것은 입맞춤 같은 기쁨을 준다.
27 네 바깥일을 끝마치고
네 밭일을 다 마무리 지은 다음에
비로소 네 집을 세워라.
28 근거 없이 이웃에게 해가 되는 증언을 하지 말고
네 입술로 거짓말을 하지 말아라.
29 “그가 나에게 한만큼 나도 그에게 해 주고
그가 한 대로 갚아 줄 것이다.” 하고 말하지 말아라.
30 내가 지나가다가
게으른 사람의 밭과
똑똑치 못한 사람의 포도원을 보니
31 가시덤불이 무성하게 자라고
엉겅퀴가 땅을 덮었으며
돌담이 무너져 있었다.
32 내가 그것을 보고
깊이 생각하고 교훈을 얻었다.
33 “조금만 더 자야지
조금만 더 눈을 붙여야지
조금만 더 쉬어야지.” 하면
34 가난이 강도처럼 들이닥치고
쪼들림이 군사처럼 달려들 것이다.

New International Version
Saying 20
24 Do not envy(A) the wicked,
do not desire their company;
2 for their hearts plot violence,(B)
and their lips talk about making trouble.(C)
Saying 21
3 By wisdom a house is built,(D)
and through understanding it is established;
4 through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.(E)
Saying 22
5 The wise prevail through great power,
and those who have knowledge muster their strength.
6 Surely you need guidance to wage war,
and victory is won through many advisers.(F)
Saying 23
7 Wisdom is too high for fools;
in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
Saying 24
8 Whoever plots evil
will be known as a schemer.
9 The schemes of folly are sin,
and people detest a mocker.
Saying 25
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!(G)
11 Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.(H)
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs(I) the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay(J) everyone according to what they have done?(K)
Saying 26
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(L)
Saying 27
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.(M)
Saying 28
17 Do not gloat(N) when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,(O)
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.(P)
Saying 29
19 Do not fret(Q) because of evildoers
or be envious of the wicked,
20 for the evildoer has no future hope,
and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.(R)
Saying 30
21 Fear the Lord and the king,(S) my son,
and do not join with rebellious officials,
22 for those two will send sudden destruction(T) on them,
and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Further Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of the wise:(U)
To show partiality(V) in judging is not good:(W)
24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,”(X)
will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and rich blessing will come on them.
26 An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Put your outdoor work in order
and get your fields ready;
after that, build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause(Y)—
would you use your lips to mislead?
29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me;
I’ll pay them back for what they did.”(Z)
30 I went past the field of a sluggard,(AA)
past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;
31 thorns had come up everywhere,
the ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone wall was in ruins.
32 I applied my heart to what I observed
and learned a lesson from what I saw:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(AB)—
34 and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.(AC)
Proverbs 24
English Standard Version
Proverbs 24
English Standard Version
24 Be not (A)envious of evil men,
nor desire to be (B)with them,
2 for their hearts (C)devise violence,
and their lips (D)talk of trouble.
3 By (E)wisdom a house is built,
and by understanding it is established;
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled
with all (F)precious and pleasant riches.
5 (G)A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
6 for by (H)wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in (I)abundance of counselors there is victory.
7 Wisdom is (J)too high for a fool;
in (K)the gate he does not open his mouth.
8 Whoever (L)plans to do evil
will be called a schemer.
9 (M)The devising[a] of folly is sin,
and (N)the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.
10 If you (O)faint in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
11 (P)Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
(Q)does not he who (R)weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who (S)keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man (T)according to his work?
13 My son, (U)eat honey, for it is good,
and (V)the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
14 Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be (W)a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.
15 (X)Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous;
do no violence to his home;
16 (Y)for the righteous falls (Z)seven times and rises again,
but (AA)the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
17 (AB)Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18 lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
and turn away his anger from him.
19 (AC)Fret not yourself because of evildoers,
and be not (AD)envious of the wicked,
20 for the evil man has no (AE)future;
(AF)the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21 My son, (AG)fear the Lord and the king,
and do not join with those who do otherwise,
22 for disaster will arise suddenly from them,
and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
More Sayings of the Wise
23 These also are sayings of (AH)the wise.
(AI)Partiality in judging is not good.
24 Whoever (AJ)says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”
(AK)will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,
25 but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
and a good blessing will come upon them.
26 Whoever gives an honest answer
kisses the lips.
27 (AL)Prepare your work outside;
get everything ready for yourself in the field,
and after that build your house.
28 (AM)Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause,
and do not deceive with your lips.
29 Do not say, (AN)“I will do to him as he has done to me;
I will pay the man back for what he has done.”
30 (AO)I passed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man (AP)lacking sense,
31 and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone (AQ)wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw and (AR)considered it;
I looked and received instruction.
33 (AS)A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

- Proverbs 24:9 Or scheming
Proverbs 24
New Century Version
Proverbs 24
New Century Version
24 Don’t envy evil people
or try to be friends with them.
2 Their minds are always planning violence,
and they always talk about making trouble.
3 It takes wisdom to have a good family,
and it takes understanding to make it strong.
4 It takes knowledge to fill a home
with rare and beautiful treasures.
5 Wise people have great power,
and those with knowledge have great strength.
6 So you need advice when you go to war.
If you have lots of good advice, you will win.
7 Foolish people cannot understand wisdom.
They have nothing to say in a discussion.
8 Whoever makes evil plans
will be known as a troublemaker.
9 Making foolish plans is sinful,
and making fun of wisdom is hateful.
10 If you give up when trouble comes,
it shows that you are weak.
11 Save those who are being led to their death;
rescue those who are about to be killed.
12 If you say, “We don’t know anything about this,”
God, who knows what’s in your mind, will notice.
He is watching you, and he will know.
He will reward each person for what he has done.
13 My child, eat honey because it is good.
Honey from the honeycomb tastes sweet.
14 In the same way, wisdom is pleasing to you.
If you find it, you have hope for the future,
and your wishes will come true.
15 Don’t be wicked and attack a good family’s house;
don’t rob the place where they live.
16 Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated,
but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.
17 Don’t be happy when your enemy is defeated;
don’t be glad when he is overwhelmed.
18 The Lord will notice and be displeased.
He may not be angry with them anymore.
19 Don’t envy evil people,
and don’t be jealous of the wicked.
20 An evil person has nothing to hope for;
the wicked will die like a flame that is put out.
21 My child, respect the Lord and the king.
Don’t join those people who refuse to obey them.
22 The Lord and the king will quickly destroy such people.
Those two can cause great disaster!
More Words of Wisdom
23 These are also sayings of the wise:
It is not good to take sides when you are the judge.
24 Don’t tell the wicked that they are innocent;
people will curse you, and nations will hate you.
25 But things will go well if you punish the guilty,
and you will receive rich blessings.
26 An honest answer is as pleasing
as a kiss on the lips.
27 First, finish your outside work
and prepare your fields.
After that, you can build your house.
28 Don’t testify against your neighbor for no good reason.
Don’t say things that are false.
29 Don’t say, “I’ll get even;
I’ll do to him what he did to me.”
30 I passed by a lazy person’s field
and by the vineyard of someone with no sense.
31 Thorns had grown up everywhere.
The ground was covered with weeds,
and the stone walls had fallen down.
32 I thought about what I had seen;
I learned this lesson from what I saw.
33 You sleep a little; you take a nap.
You fold your hands and lie down to rest.
34 Soon you will be as poor as if you had been robbed;
you will have as little as if you had been held up.
