잠언 6
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
어리석음에 대한 경고
6 내 아들아[a]
네가 이웃의 담보를 서거나
다른 사람의 빚보증을 서면
2 너는 네가 한 말에 걸려 들고
네 입에서 나온 말이 너를 옭아맨다.
3 내 아들아
그렇게 되면 너는 네 이웃의 손에 걸려든 것이니
너는 이렇게 하여 자신을 구하여라.
네 이웃에게 가서 너를 풀어 달라고 애걸하여라.
4 잠을 자거나
졸지도 말고
5 노루가 사냥꾼의 손에서 벗어나듯
새가 새 잡는 사람의 손에서 벗어나듯
어서 벗어나서 네 자신을 구하여라.
6 게으른 사람아
개미에게 가서 그 사는 모습을 살펴보고
지혜로운 사람이 되어라.
7 개미는 우두머리도
감독자나 통치자도 없다.
8 그러나 여름 동안에 양식을 저장하고
추수 때에 먹이를 모아 들인다.
9 게으른 사람아
언제까지 거기 그렇게 누워 있으려느냐?
언제 잠에서 깨어 일어나려느냐?
10 “조금만 더 자야지
조금만 더 눈을 붙여야지
조금만 더 팔을 베고 누워 있어야지” 하면
11 네게 가난이 강도처럼 들이닥치고
빈곤이 무장한 군인처럼 달려들 것이다.
12 건달과 악한은
사악한 말이나 하며 돌아다닌다.
13 그들은 눈을 찡긋거리고
발로 신호를 보내며
손가락을 움직여 뜻을 알린다.
14 비뚤어진 마음으로 언제나 악을 꾀하며
끊임없이 싸움만 일으킨다.
15 그러므로 갑자기 들이닥친 재앙을 만나
순식간에 무너져 돌이킬 길이 없을 것이다.
16 주께서 미워하시는 것 여섯 가지
아니 도저히 참지 못하시는 것 일곱 가지가 있다.
17 교만한 눈
거짓말 하는 혀
죄 없는 사람의 피를 흘리는 손
18 악한 일을 꾸미는 마음
악한 일로 서둘러 달려가는 발
19 거짓말하는 증인
그리고 형제 사이에 싸움을 일으키는 사람이다.
간음에 대한 경고
20 내 아들아
네 아버지의 명령을 지키고
네 어머니의 가르침을 저버리지 말아라.
21 그것들을 언제나 네 가슴에 새겨두고
네 목에 걸어 두어라.
22 네가 길을 갈 때에 그것들이 너를 인도하여 주고
네가 잠잘 때에 그것들이 너를 지켜 주며
네가 깨어날 때에 그것들이 너의 말동무가 되어 줄 것이다.
23 그 명령은 등불이요
그 가르침은 빛이며
그 꾸짖음은 너를 생명으로 이끄는 길이다.
24 그것들이 너를 악한 여자에게서 지켜 주고
남의 아내의 매끄러운 혀에서 너를 지켜 준다.
25 너는 마음으로 그런 여자의 아름다움을 탐내지 말고
그 여자의 눈에 사로잡히지 말아라.
26 몸 파는 여자의 몸값은 겨우 빵 한 덩이이나
다른 사람의 아내는 네 귀한 생명을 노린다.
27 사람이 불을 가슴에 안았는데
그 옷이 타지 않겠느냐?
28 빨갛게 단 숯불 위를 걸어가는데
그 발이 데이지 않겠느냐?
29 남의 아내와 잠자리를 같이하는 자도 이와 같다.
그런 여자를 건드리고도 벌을 받지 않는 사람은 아무도 없다.
30 허기진 배를 채우려고 훔친 도둑을
사람들은 멸시하지는 않는다.
31 잡히면 일곱 배로 갚아야 하고
그는 집에 있는 재산을 모두 내주어야 할 경우도 있지만.
32 그러나 남의 아내와 간음하는 것은 어리석은 짓이다.
그런 짓을 하는 자는 자신을 망친다.
33 그는 매를 맞고 멸시를 받으며
도저히 씻어 버릴 수 없는 창피를 당할 것이다.
34 그 여자의 남편이 질투심에 불타 앙갚음을 하는 날에는
어떤 동정심도 보여 주지 않을 것이다.
35 그는 어떤 보상도 받아들이지 않고
아무리 많은 위자료도 거절할 것이다.

Proverbs 6
King James Version
6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
Proverbs 6
New International Version
Warnings Against Folly
6 My son,(A) if you have put up security(B) for your neighbor,(C)
if you have shaken hands in pledge(D) for a stranger,
2 you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—[a]
and give your neighbor no rest!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.(E)
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle(F) from the hand of the hunter,(G)
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.(H)
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;(I)
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer(J)
and gathers its food at harvest.(K)
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?(L)
When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest(M)—
11 and poverty(N) will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
12 A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks maliciously with his eye,(O)
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,(P)
14 who plots evil(Q) with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.(R)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;(S)
he will suddenly(T) be destroyed—without remedy.(U)
16 There are six things the Lord hates,(V)
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,(W)
a lying tongue,(X)
hands that shed innocent blood,(Y)
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,(Z)
19 a false witness(AA) who pours out lies(AB)
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.(AC)
Warning Against Adultery
20 My son,(AD) keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(AE)
21 Bind them always on your heart;
fasten them around your neck.(AF)
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(AG)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(AH)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(AI)
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.(AJ)
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps(AK) with another man’s wife;(AL)
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,(AM)
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32 But a man who commits adultery(AN) has no sense;(AO)
whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never(AP) be wiped away.

Proverbs 6
New King James Version
Dangerous Promises
6 My son, (A)if you become [a]surety for your friend,
If you have [b]shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2 You are snared by the words of your mouth;
You are taken by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
4 (B)Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
And like a bird from the hand of the [c]fowler.
The Folly of Indolence
6 (C)Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no [d]captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her [e]supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 (D)How long will you [f]slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 (E)So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
The Wicked Man
12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 (F)He winks with his eyes,
He [g]shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14 Perversity is in his heart,
(G)He devises evil continually,
(H)He sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come (I)suddenly;
Suddenly he shall (J)be broken (K)without remedy.
16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to [h]Him:
17 (L)A[i] proud look,
(M)A lying tongue,
(N)Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 (O)A heart that devises wicked plans,
(P)Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 (Q)A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who (R)sows discord among brethren.
Beware of Adultery
20 (S)My son, keep your father’s command,
And do not forsake the law of your mother.
21 (T)Bind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
22 (U)When you roam, [j]they will lead you;
When you sleep, (V)they will keep you;
And when you awake, they will speak with you.
23 (W)For the commandment is a lamp,
And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
24 (X)To keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
25 (Y)Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
26 For (Z)by means of a harlot
A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
(AA)And [k]an adulteress will (AB)prey upon his precious life.
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be seared?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
30 People do not despise a thief
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
31 Yet when he is found, (AC)he must restore sevenfold;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman (AD)lacks understanding;
He who does so destroys his own soul.
33 Wounds and dishonor he will get,
And his reproach will not be wiped away.
34 For (AE)jealousy is a husband’s fury;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will [l]accept no recompense,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
