잠언 4
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
지혜에 관한 아버지의 충고
4 내 아들들[a]아
너희는 아버지의 가르침에 귀를 기울이고
그 말을 새겨 들어 슬기를 얻도록 하여라.
2 나는 너희에게 건전한 것을 가르치니
너희는 내 가르침을 잊지 말아라.
3 나도 내 아버지에게는 아들이었고
내 어머니에게는 사랑스러운 아들이었다.
4 아버지는 내게 이렇게 가르치셨다.
“너는 내 말을 마음 깊이 간직하고 내 명령을 지켜라.
그러면 네가 살 것이다.
5 지혜와 슬기를 얻고
내 입에서 나온 말을 잊거나 거기서 돌아서지 말아라.
6 지혜를 저버리지 말아라.
지혜를 사랑하여라.
그러면 지혜가 너를 지켜 줄 것이다.
7 지혜를 찾아라.
그것이 지혜의 첫 걸음이다.
네가 가진 모든 것을 주고서라도 슬기를 얻어라.
8 지혜를 귀하게 여겨라.
그러면 지혜가 너를 더 큰 사람이 되게 해 줄 것이다.
지혜를 가슴에 품어라.
그러면 지혜가 너를 영예롭게 해 줄 것이다.
9 지혜가 네 머리에 아름다운 관을 씌우고
영광스러운 왕관을 네게 안겨 줄 것이다.”
10 내 아들아
내 말을 귀담아 들어라.
네가 그 말을 받아들이면 오래 살 것이다.
11 나는 너를 지혜의 길로 인도하고
너를 올바른 길로 이끈다.
12 네가 걸을 때 네 발걸음이 막히지 않고
네가 달릴 때 비틀거리지 않을 것이다.
13 이 교훈을 붙들고 놓지 말아라.
그것은 네 생명이니 단단히 지켜라.
14 악한 사람의 길에 발을 들여 놓지 말며
그들의 길을 따라 걷지 말아라.
15 그런 길은 거절하고 가지 말아라.
발길을 돌려 비켜 가거라.
16 그들은 악한 짓을 하기까지 잠을 자지 못하며
남을 넘어지게 하지 않고는 잠을 이루지 못한다.
17 그들은 악한 짓을 하여 얻은 빵을 먹고
폭력으로 빼앗은 포도주를 마신다.
18 그러나 의로운 사람의 길은 동틀 때의 햇살 같아서
한낮이 되기까지 점점 더 밝아진다.
19 그러나 악한 사람의 길은 깊은 어둠과 같아서
그들은 넘어지고도 무엇에 걸려 넘어졌는지 모른다.
20 내 아들아
내 말을 잘 듣고
내가 하는 말에 귀를 기울여라.
21 이 말이 네 눈에서 떠나지 않도록
네 마음속 깊이 간직하여라.
22 이 말은 찾아 얻은 사람에게는 생명이 되어
온 몸을 건강하게 해 주기 때문이다.
23 두 눈 부릅뜨고 네 마음을 잘 지켜라.
생명의 샘이 거기서 흘러나오기 때문이다.
24 비뚤어진 말은 네 입에서 멀리하고
사악한 말은 입에 올리지도 말아라.
25 눈은 앞만 똑바로 보고
시선은 앞으로만 두어라.
26 네 가는 길을 평탄하게 하여라.
그러면 네 모든 길이 안전할 것이다.
27 오른쪽이나 왼쪽으로 벗어나지 말고
악에서 네 발길을 돌려라.

Proverbs 4
King James Version
4 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Get Wisdom at Any Cost
4 Listen, my sons,(A) to a father’s instruction;(B)
pay attention and gain understanding.(C)
2 I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.
3 For I too was a son to my father,
still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
“Take hold(D) of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.(E)
5 Get wisdom,(F) get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them.
6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;(G)
love her, and she will watch over you.(H)
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom.
Though it cost all(I) you have,[b] get understanding.(J)
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
embrace her, and she will honor you.(K)
9 She will give you a garland to grace your head
and present you with a glorious crown.(L)”
10 Listen, my son,(M) accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.(N)
11 I instruct(O) you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.(P)
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.(Q)
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.(R)
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.(S)
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;(T)
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.(U)
18 The path of the righteous(V) is like the morning sun,(W)
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.(X)
19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness;(Y)
they do not know what makes them stumble.(Z)
20 My son,(AA) pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.(AB)
21 Do not let them out of your sight,(AC)
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.(AD)
23 Above all else, guard(AE) your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.(AF)
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes(AG) look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet(AH)
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;(AI)
keep your foot from evil.
