잠언 29
Korean Living Bible
29 자주 책망을 받으면서도 여전히 고집을 피우는 사람은 예기치 않은 패망을 당하고 구제가 불가능한 사람이 되고 말 것이다.
2 의로운 사람이 권력을 잡으면 백성들이 즐거워하지만 악한 자가 권력을 잡으면 백성들이 탄식한다.
3 지혜를 사랑하는 사람은 자기 아버지를 기쁘게 하여도 창녀와 사귀는 사람은 재산을 허비하게 된다.
4 공정하고 의로운 왕은 나라를 안정되게 하지만 뇌물을 강요하는 왕은 나라를 망하게 한다.
5 이웃 사람에게 아첨하는 자는 자기 발 앞에 그물을 치는 사람이다.
6 악인은 자기 죄로 덫에 걸리지만 의로운 사람은 노래하고 즐거워한다.
7 의로운 사람은 가난한 사람의 사정을 생각하여도 악한 사람은 그런 것을 이해하지 못한다.
8 거만하고 냉소적인 사람은 도시를 소란케 하지만 슬기로운 사람은 분노를 그치게 한다.
9 지혜로운 자와 미련한 자가 다투게 되면 미련한 자가 노하든 웃든 그 다툼은 쉽게 그치지 않는다.
10 피에 굶주린 자는 정직한 사람을 미워하지만 의로운 자는 정직한 사람의 생명을 보호한다.
11 어리석은 사람은 쌓인 분노를 다 터뜨려도 지혜로운 사람은 그 분노를 억제한다.
12 통치자가 거짓말에 귀가 솔깃하면 그 밑에서 일하는 사람들도 악하기 마련이다.
13 가난한 사람이나 부자가 다 함께 섞여 살기 마련이지만 한 가지 공통점은 여호와께서 그들의 눈에 다 같이 빛을 주셨다는 점이다.
14 왕이 가난한 사람의 권리를 옹호해 주면 그의 왕위가 오랫동안 지속될 것이다.
15 꾸짖고 때려서라도 교육을 시키면 지혜를 얻게 되지만 제멋대로 하도록 내버려 두면 자식이 어머니를 욕되게 한다.
16 악인이 많아지면 죄가 증가하겠지만 의로운 사람은 그들이 망하는 것을 볼 것이다.
17 네 자식을 징계하라. 그러면 그가 네 마음에 기쁨과 평안을 줄 것이다.
18 하나님의 계시가 없으면 백성이 무질서하겠지만 율법을 지키는 사람은 복이 있다.
19 말만 해서는 종을 바로잡을 수 없다. 이것은 그가 다 알면서도 말을 듣지 않기 때문이다.
20 아무 생각 없이 성급하게 말하는 사람보다는 오히려 미련한 자에게 더 희망이 있다.
21 종을 어려서부터 제멋대로 하도록 내버려 두면 그가 나중에는 자식인 체할 것이다.
22 노하는 사람은 다툼을 일으키고 성미가 급한 사람은 죄 짓는 일이 많다.
23 사람이 교만하면 낮아지고 겸손하면 존경을 받는다.
24 도둑과 공모하는 사람은 영혼을 증오하는 자이다. 그는 사실대로 진술하라는 소리를 들어도 법정에서 아무것도 말하지 않는다.
25 사람을 두려워하면 덫에 걸리지만 여호와를 신뢰하면 안전할 것이다.
26 통치자의 환심을 사려고 하는 자들이 많으나 사람에 대한 정당한 판단은 여호와께서 하신다.
27 의로운 사람은 정직하지 못한 자를 미워하고 악한 사람은 정직한 자를 미워한다.
Proverbs 29
Lexham English Bible
29 A man who is reproved, being stubborn of neck—
suddenly he will be broken, and there will not be healing.
2 When the righteous are numerous, the people will rejoice,
but when the wicked are ruling, people will groan.
3 A man who loves wisdom will make his parents glad,
but the friend of prostitutes[a] will squander his wealth.
4 By justice a king gives stability to a land,
but a man of bribes will ruin it.
5 A strong man who flatters his neighbor
is spreading a net for his feet.
6 In transgression, an evil man is a snare,
but the righteous will sing and rejoice.[b]
7 The righteous knows the case of the poor,
but the wicked does not understand knowledge.
8 Men of scoffing set a city aflame,
but the wise turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
then there is rankling and ridicule,[c] but there is no relief.
10 Men of blood hate the blameless,
and they seek the life of the upright.[d]
11 A fool gives all his breath,[e]
but the wise holds back in quiet.
12 A ruler listening to a word of falsehood,
all his officials are wicked.
13 The poor and a man of oppression have this in common:
Yahweh gives light to the eyes of them both.[f]
14 A king who judges with truthfulness to the poor,
his throne will be established forever.
15 As for a rod and reproof, they[g] will give wisdom,
but a neglected child is disgraced by his mother.
16 With the increase of the wicked, transgression will increase,
but the righteous will look on his downfall.
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you rest,
and they will give delight to your soul.[h]
18 When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,
but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.
19 By words, a servant is not disciplined,
for he will understand, but there is no giving heed.
20 You see a man who is hasty in his words:
there is more hope for a fool than him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood,
arrogance will be his end.[i]
22 A man of anger will stir strife,
and the owner of anger, much transgression.
23 The pride of a person will bring him humiliation,
and the lowly of spirit will obtain honor.
24 Being a partner with a thief is hating one’s life;[j]
a curse he will hear, but not disclose.
25 The fear of a person will lay a snare,
but he who trusts in Yahweh will be secure.
26 Many are those who seek the favor[k] of a ruler,
but from Yahweh one obtains justice.[l]
27 A man of injustice is an abomination to the righteous,
but the upright[m] is an abomination to the wicked.

New King James Version
Happy Is He Who Keeps the Law
29 He(A) who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous [a]are in authority, the (B)people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, (C)the people groan.
3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
4 The king establishes the land by justice,
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5 A man who (D)flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
6 By transgression an evil man is snared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7 The righteous (E)considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
8 Scoffers (F)set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
(G)Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
12 If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
(J)The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The king who judges the (K)poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
15 The rod and rebuke give (L)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their (M)fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 (N)Where there is no [d]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But (O)happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?
(P)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.
22 (Q)An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 (R)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
(S)He [e]swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
