| 1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. | 1 A lover of training is a lover of knowledge; but a hater of teaching is like a beast. | 1 훈계를 좋아하는 자는 지식을 좋아하나니 징계를 싫어하는 자는 짐승과 같으니라 |
| 2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. | 2 A good man has grace in the eyes of the Lord; but the man of evil designs gets punishment from him. | 2 선인은 여호와께 은총을 받으려니와 악을 꾀하는 자는 정죄하심을 받으리라 |
| 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. | 3 No man will make himself safe through evil-doing; but the root of upright men will never be moved. | 3 사람이 악으로 굳게 서지 못하나니 의인의 뿌리는 움직이지 아니하느니라 |
| 4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. | 4 A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones. | 4 어진 여인은 그 지아비의 면류관이나 욕을 끼치는 여인은 그 지아비로 뼈가 썩음 같게 하느니라 |
| 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. | 5 The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit. | 5 의인의 생각은 공직하여도 악인의 도모는 궤휼이니라 |
| 6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. | 6 The words of sinners are destruction for the upright; but the mouth of upright men is their salvation. | 6 악인의 말은 사람을 엿보아 피를 흘리자 하는 것이어니와 정직한 자의 입은 사람을 구원하느니라 |
| 7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. | 7 Evil-doers are overturned and never seen again, but the house of upright men will keep its place. | 7 악인은 엎드러져서 소멸되려니와 의인의 집은 서 있으리라 |
| 8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. | 8 A man will be praised in the measure of his wisdom, but a wrong-minded man will be looked down on. | 8 사람은 그 지혜대로 칭찬을 받으려니와 마음이 패려한 자는 멸시를 받으리라 |
| 9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. | 9 He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread. | 9 비천히 여김을 받을찌라도 종을 부리는 자는 스스로 높은체 하고도 음식이 핍절한 자보다 나으니라 |
| 10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. | 10 An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evil-doers are cruel. | 10 의인은 그 육축의 생명을 돌아보나 악인의 긍휼은 잔인이니라 |
| 11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. | 11 He who does work on his land will not be short of bread; but he who goes after foolish men is without sense. | 11 자기의 토지를 경작하는 자는 먹을 것이 많거니와 방탕한 것을 따르는 자는 지혜가 없느니라 |
| 12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. | 12 The resting-place of the sinner will come to destruction, but the root of upright men is for ever. | 12 악인은 불의의 이를 탐하나 의인은 그 뿌리로 말미암아 결실하느니라 |
| 13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. | 13 In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble. | 13 악인은 입술의 허물로 인하여 그물에 걸려도 의인은 환난에서 벗어나느니라 |
| 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. | 14 From the fruit of his mouth will a man have good food in full measure, and the work of a man's hands will be rewarded. | 14 사람은 입의 열매로 인하여 복록에 족하며 그 손의 행하는대로 자기가 받느니라 |
| 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. | 15 The way of the foolish man seems right to him? but the wise man gives ear to suggestions. | 15 미련한 자는 자기 행위를 바른줄로 여기나 지혜로운 자는 권고를 듣느니라 |
| 16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. | 16 A foolish man lets his trouble be openly seen, but a sharp man keeps shame secret. | 16 미련한 자는 분노를 당장에 나타내거니와 슬기로운 자는 수욕을 참느니라 |
| 17 He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. | 17 The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit. | 17 진리를 말하는 자는 의를 나타내어도 거짓 증인은 궤휼을 말하느니라 |
| 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. | 18 There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again. | 18 혹은 칼로 찌름 같이 함부로 말하거니와 지혜로운 자의 혀는 양약 같으니라 |
| 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. | 19 True lips are certain for ever, but a false tongue is only for a minute. | 19 진실한 입술은 영원히 보존되거니와 거짓 혀는 눈 깜짝일 동안만 있을 뿐이니라 |
| 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. | 20 Deceit is in the heart of those whose designs are evil, but for those purposing peace there is joy. | 20 악을 꾀하는 자의 마음에는 궤휼이 있고 화평을 논하는 자에게는 희락이 있느니라 |
| 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. | 21 No trouble will come to upright men, but sinners will be full of evil. | 21 의인에게는 아무 재앙도 임하지 아니하려니와 악인에게는 앙화가 가득하리라 |
| 22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. | 22 False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight. | 22 거짓 입술은 여호와께 미움을 받아도 진실히 행하는 자는 그의 기뻐하심을 받느니라 |
| 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. | 23 A sharp man keeps back his knowledge; but the heart of foolish men makes clear their foolish thoughts. | 23 슬기로운 자는 지식을 감추어 두어도 미련한 자의 마음은 미련한 것을 전파하느니라 |
| 24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. | 24 The hand of the ready worker will have authority, but he who is slow in his work will be put to forced work. | 24 부지런한 자의 손은 사람을 다스리게 되어도 게으른 자는 부림을 받느니라 |
| 25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. | 25 Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad. | 25 근심이 사람의 마음에 있으면 그것으로 번뇌케 하나 선한 말은 그것을 즐겁게 하느니라 |
| 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. | 26 The upright man is a guide to his neighbour, but the way of evil-doers is a cause of error to them. | 26 의인은 그 이웃의 인도자가 되나 악인의 소행은 자기를 미혹하게 하느니라 |
| 27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. | 27 He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth. | 27 게으른 자는 그 잡을 것도 사냥하지 아니하나니 사람의 부귀는 부지런한 것이니라 |
| 28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. | 28 In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death. | 28 의로운 길에 생명이 있나니 그 길에는 사망이 없느니라 |
