잠24:1 악인의 형통을 부러워 말라   
   
잠24:1 지혜의 유익함  

 ^24:1Don't be envious of evil men; 
      Neither desire to be with them: 

 ^24:2For their hearts plot violence, 
      And their lips talk about mischief. 

 ^24:3Through wisdom a house is built; 
      By understanding it is established; 

 ^24:4By knowledge the rooms are filled 
      With all rare and beautiful treasure. 

 ^24:5A wise man has great power; 
      And a knowledgeable man increases strength; 

 ^24:6For by wise guidance you wage your war; 
      And victory is in many advisors. 

 ^24:7Wisdom is too high for a fool: 
      He doesn't open his mouth in the gate.

잠24:8 이웃을 돌아 보라 

 ^24:8One who plots to do evil 
      Will be called a schemer. 

 ^24:9The schemes of folly are sin. 
      The mocker is detested by men. 

 ^24:10If you falter in the time of trouble, 
      Your strength is small. 

 ^24:11Rescue those who are being led away to death! 
      Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter! 

 ^24:12If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" 
      Doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? 

 He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? 
      Shall he not render to every man according to his work? 

 ^24:13My son, eat honey, for it is good; 
      The droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste: 

 ^24:14So you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; 
      If you have found it, then there will be a reward, 
      Your hope will not be cut off. 

 ^24:15Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. 
      Don't destroy his resting-place: 

 ^24:16For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; 
      But the wicked are overthrown by calamity. 

 ^24:17Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. 
      Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown; 

 ^24:18Lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, 
      And he turn away his wrath from him. 

 ^24:19Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; 
      Neither be envious of the wicked: 

 ^24:20For there will be no reward to the evil man; 
      And the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out. 

 ^24:21My son, fear Yahweh and the king. 
      Don't join those who are rebellious: 

 ^24:22For their calamity will rise suddenly; 
      The destruction from them both -- who knows?

잠24:23 공정하게 재판하라 

^24:23These also are sayings of the wise. 

 To show partiality in judgment is not good. 

 ^24:24He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous;" 
      Peoples shall curse him, and nations shall abhor him -- 

 ^24:25But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, 
      And a rich blessing will come on them. 

 ^24:26An honest answer 
      Is like a kiss on the lips. 

 ^24:27Prepare your work outside, 
      And get your fields ready. 
      Afterwards, build your house. 

 ^24:28Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. 
      Don't deceive with your lips. 

 ^24:29Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; 
      I will render to the man according to his work." 

 ^24:30I went by the field of the sluggard, 
      By the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 

 ^24:31Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. 
      Its surface was covered with nettles, 
      And its stone wall was broken down. 

 ^24:32Then I saw, and considered well. 
      I saw, and received instruction: 

 ^24:33A little sleep, a little slumber, 
      A little folding of the hands to sleep; 

 ^24:34So shall your poverty come as a robber, 
      And your want as an armed man.
