잠언 23
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
23 네가 높은 사람과 함께 앉아 음식을 먹게 되거든
네 앞에 누가 앉았는지 잘 살펴라.
2 아무리 먹고 싶더라도
목구멍에 칼을 대고서라도 참아라.
3 그가 차린 맛난 음식에 욕심 내지 말아라.
그것은 사람을 속이는 음식이다.
4 몸을 해쳐가면서까지 부자가 되려고 애쓰지 말고
그런 욕심을 버릴 슬기를 가져라.
5 재물이란 것은 눈길을 주자마자 없어지고 만다.
날개를 달고 하늘로 날아가는 독수리처럼 사라지고 만다.
6 인색한 사람의 음식을 먹지 말고
맛난 음식을 탐내지 말아라.
7 그가 말로는 “먹고 마셔라.” 하면서도 속으로는 그렇지 않다.
그는 언제나 값부터 계산하는 사람이다[a].
8 너는 조금 먹은 것도 토해 올리게 되고
네 아첨도 아무 소용없는 것이 되고 말 것이다.
9 어리석은 사람에게는 아무 말도 하지 말아라.
그는 너의 지혜로운 말을 비웃을 것이다.
10 예부터 내려오는 땅의 경계선을 옮기지 말고
고아들의 밭을 침범하지 말아라.
11 그들의 구원자는 능력이 많으신 분이시다.
그가 너에게 맞서 그들의 송사를 맡으실 것이다.
12 가르침에 네 마음을 쏟아
지식의 말씀에 귀를 기울여라.
13 아이를 책망하는 것을 주저하지 말아라.
매를 때린다고 죽지는 않는다.
14 아이에게 매를 대는 것이
오히려 스올에서 그의 목숨을 구하는 일이다.
15 내 아들아
네 마음이 지혜로우면
내 마음이 기쁘고
16 네가 옳은 말을 하면
내 마음이 한없이 즐겁다.
17 죄인들을 보고 부러워하지 말고
언제나 주님만을 두려워하여라.
18 그리하면 너에게 밝은 미래가 있으며
너의 희망이 이루어질 것이다.
19 내 아들아
잘 듣고 지혜롭게 되어
네 마음을 옳은 길로 이끌어라.
20 술을 너무 많이 마시는 자와
고기를 탐내는 자와는 어울리지 말아라.
21 술주정꾼과 먹기를 탐하는 자는 가난하게 되고
늘 몽롱해 있으면 누더기를 걸치게 된다.
22 너를 낳아 준 아버지의 말을 잘 듣고
어머니가 늙었다고 업신여기지 말아라.
23 진리는 사들이되 팔지는 말아라.
지혜와 훈계와 슬기로움도 그리하여라.
24 의로운 자식을 둔 아버지는 크게 기뻐하고
지혜로운 자식을 둔 아버지도 크게 즐거워할 것이다.
25 그러므로 네 부모를 즐겁게 하여라.
너를 낳은 어머니를 기쁘게 하여라.
26 내 아들아
너의 마음을 나에게 다오.
내가 걸어온 길을 따라라.
27 몸을 파는 여자와 음란한 여자는 덫이요
깊은 수렁과 같다.
28 그 여자는 강도처럼 기다리다가
배신하는 남자들의 수만 늘어나게 한다.
29 고통을 당할 사람이 누구며
슬픔을 당할 사람이 누구냐?
다투는 사람이 누구며
근심할 사람이 누구냐?
까닭 없이 상처를 입을 사람이 누구며
눈에 붉게 핏발이 선 사람이 누구냐?
30 밤늦게까지 술을 마시는 사람들이 아니냐?
혼합주만 찾아다니는 사람들이 아니냐.
31 술이 아무리 붉고 잔속에서 생기가 돌더라도
목구멍에 매끄럽게 넘어가더라도
너는 그것을 쳐다보지도 말아라.
32 결국 그 술은 뱀처럼 너를 물어
독사처럼 독을 퍼뜨릴 것이다.
33 네 눈에는 이상한 것만 보이고
생각이 흐리멍텅해져
입에서는 허튼 소리만 나오게 될 것이다.
34 너는 바다 한가운데 누워 있는 것 같고
돛대 꼭대기에 누워 있는 것 같을 것이다.
35 너는
“사람들이 나를 때려도 아프지 않고
나를 쳐도 난 아무렇지 않아.
언제 술이 깨지?
술이 깨면 또 한 잔 해야지.” 하고 말할 것이다.

Saying 7
23 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
note well what[a] is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies,(A)
for that food is deceptive.
Saying 8
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,(B)
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.(C)
Saying 9
6 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host,
do not crave his delicacies;(D)
7 for he is the kind of person
who is always thinking about the cost.[b]
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten
and will have wasted your compliments.
Saying 10
9 Do not speak to fools,
for they will scorn your prudent words.(E)
Saying 11
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone(F)
or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their Defender(G) is strong;(H)
he will take up their case against you.(I)
Saying 12
12 Apply your heart to instruction(J)
and your ears to words of knowledge.
Saying 13
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
14 Punish them with the rod
and save them from death.(K)
Saying 14
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad indeed;
16 my inmost being will rejoice
when your lips speak what is right.(L)
Saying 15
17 Do not let your heart envy(M) sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
18 There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.(N)
Saying 16
19 Listen, my son,(O) and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine(P)
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,(Q)
and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Saying 17
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.(R)
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it—
wisdom, instruction and insight as well.(S)
24 The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.(T)
25 May your father and mother rejoice;
may she who gave you birth be joyful!(U)
Saying 18
26 My son,(V) give me your heart
and let your eyes delight in my ways,(W)
27 for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,(X)
and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28 Like a bandit she lies in wait(Y)
and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
Saying 19
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine,(Z)
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”(AA)

New King James Version
Listen to Your Father
23 When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
Consider carefully what is before you;
2 And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man given to appetite.
3 Do not desire his delicacies,
For they are deceptive food.
4 (A)Do not overwork to be rich;
(B)Because of your own understanding, cease!
5 [a]Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
6 Do not eat the bread of (C)a[b] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” (D)he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.
9 (E)Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not remove the ancient [c]landmark,
Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;
11 (F)For their Redeemer is mighty;
He will plead their cause against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction,
And your ears to words of knowledge.
13 (G)Do not withhold correction from a child,
For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
14 You shall beat him with a rod,
And deliver his soul from [d]hell.
15 My son, if your heart is wise,
My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself;
16 Yes, my [e]inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak right things.
17 (H)Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But (I)be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
18 (J)For surely there is a [f]hereafter,
And your hope will not be cut off.
19 Hear, my son, and be wise;
And guide your heart in the way.
20 (K)Do not mix with winebibbers,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
21 For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.
22 (L)Listen to your father who begot you,
And do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 (M)Buy the truth, and do not sell it,
Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
24 (N)The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who begets a wise child will delight in him.
25 Let your father and your mother be glad,
And let her who bore you rejoice.
26 My son, give me your heart,
And let your eyes observe my ways.
27 (O)For a harlot is a deep pit,
And a seductress is a narrow well.
28 (P)She also lies in wait as for a victim,
And increases the unfaithful among men.
29 (Q)Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who (R)has redness of eyes?
30 (S)Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of (T)mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it [g]swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the [h]midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 “They(U) have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall (V)I awake, that I may seek another drink?”
