| 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. | 1 A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again. | 1 자주 책망을 받으면서도 목이 곧은 사람은 갑자기 패망을 당하고 피하지 못하리라 |
| 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. | 2 When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people. | 2 의인이 많아지면 백성이 즐거워하고 악인이 권세를 잡으면 백성이 탄식하느니라 |
| 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. | 3 A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth. | 3 지혜를 사모하는 자는 아비를 즐겁게 하여도 창기를 사귀는 자는 재물을 없이 하느니라 |
| 4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. | 4 A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste. | 4 왕은 공의로 나라를 견고케 하나 뇌물을 억지로 내게 하는 자는 나라를 멸망시키느니라 |
| 5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. | 5 A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps. | 5 이웃에게 아첨하는 것은 그의 발 앞에 그물을 치는 것이니라 |
| 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. | 6 In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad. | 6 악인의 범죄하는 것은 스스로 올무가 되게 하는 것이나 의인은 노래하고 기뻐하느니라 |
| 7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. | 7 The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it. | 7 의인은 가난한 자의 사정을 알아 주나 악인은 알아 줄 지식이 없느니라 |
| 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. | 8 Men of pride are the cause of violent acts in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away. | 8 모만한 자는 성읍을 요란케 하여도 슬기로운 자는 노를 그치게 하느니라 |
| 9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. | 9 If a wise man goes to law with a foolish man, he may be angry or laughing, but there will be no rest. | 9 지혜로운 자와 미련한 자가 다투면 지혜로운 자가 노하든지 웃든지 그 다툼이 그침이 없느니라 |
| 10 The bloodthirsty ㆍ hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. | 10 Men of blood are haters of the good man, and evil-doers go after his soul. | 10 피 흘리기를 좋아하는 자는 온전한 자를 미워하고 정직한 자의 생명을 찾느니라 |
| 11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. | 11 A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly. | 11 어리석은 자는 그 노를 다 드러내어도 지혜로운 자는 그 노를 억제하느니라 |
| 12 If a ruler hearken to lies ㆍ, all his servants are wicked. | 12 If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers. | 12 관원이 거짓말을 신청하면 그 하인은 다 악하니라 |
| 13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. | 13 The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally. | 13 가난한 자와 포학한 자가 섞여 살거니와 여호와께서는 그들의 눈에 빛을 주시느니라 |
| 14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. | 14 The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power. | 14 왕이 가난한 자를 성실히 신원하면 그 위가 영원히 견고하리라 |
| 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. | 15 The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother. | 15 채찍과 꾸지람이 지혜를 주거늘 임의로 하게 버려두면 그 자식은 어미를 욕되게 하느니라 |
| 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. | 16 When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall. | 16 악인이 많아지면 죄도 많아지나니 의인은 그들의 망함을 보리라 |
| 17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. | 17 Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul. | 17 네 자식을 징계하라 그리하면 그가 너를 평안하게 하겠고 또 네 마음에 기쁨을 주리라 |
| 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. | 18 Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy. | 18 묵시가 없으면 백성이 방자히 행하거니와 율법을 지키는 자는 복이 있느니라 |
| 19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. | 19 A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention. | 19 종은 말로만 하면 고치지 아니하나니 이는 그가 알고도 청종치 아니함이니라 |
| 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. | 20 Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him. | 20 네가 언어에 조급한 사람을 보느냐 그보다 미련한 자에게 오히려 바랄 것이 있느니라 |
| 21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. | 21 If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end. | 21 종을 어렸을 때부터 곱게 양육하면 그가 나중에는 자식인체하리라 |
| 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. | 22 An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong. | 22 노하는 자는 다툼을 일으키고 분하여 하는 자는 범죄함이 많으니라 |
| 23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. | 23 A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour. | 23 사람이 교만하면 낮아지게 되겠고 마음이 겸손하면 영예를 얻으리라 |
| 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. | 24 A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing. | 24 도적과 짝하는 자는 자기의 영혼을 미워하는 자라 그는 맹세함을 들어도 직고하지 아니하느니라 |

| 26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. | 26 The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord. | 26 주권자에게 은혜를 구하는 자가 많으나 사람의 일의 작정은 여호와께로 말미암느니라 |
| 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. | 27 An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers. | 27 불의한 자는 의인에게 미움을 받고 정직한 자는 악인에게 미움을 받느니라 |
