잠4:1 지혜를 얻으라
4:1Listen, sons, to a father's instruction.
Pay attention and know understanding;
4:2For I give you sound learning.
Don't forsake my law.
4:3For I was a son to my father,
Tender and an only child in the sight of my mother.
4:4He taught me, and said to me:
"Let your heart retain my words.
Keep my commandments, and live.
4:5Get wisdom.
Get understanding.
Don't forget, neither swerve from the words of my mouth.
4:6Don't forsake her, and she will preserve you.
Love her, and she will keep you.
4:7Wisdom is supreme.
Get wisdom.
Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
4:8Esteem her, and she will exalt you.
She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
4:9She will give to your head a garland of grace.
She will deliver a crown of splendor to you."
잠4:10 의인의 길과 악인의길
4:10Listen, my son, and receive my sayings.
The years of your life will be many.
4:11I have taught you in the way of wisdom.
I have led you in straight paths.
4:12When you go, your steps will not be hampered.
When you run, you will not stumble.
4:13Take firm hold of instruction.
Don't let her go.
Keep her, for she is your life.
4:14Don't enter into the path of the wicked.
Don't walk in the way of evil men.
4:15Avoid it, and don't pass by it.
Turn from it, and pass on.
4:16For they don't sleep, unless they do evil.
Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
4:17For they eat the bread of wickedness,
And drink the wine of violence.
4:18But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light,
That shines more and more until the perfect day.
4:19The way of the wicked is like darkness.
They don't know what they stumble over.
잠4:20 지혜로운 자가 행할 길
4:20My son, attend to my words.
Turn your ear to my sayings.
4:21Let them not depart from your eyes.
Keep them in the midst of your heart.
4:22For they are life to those who find them,
And health to their whole body.
4:23Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it is the wellspring of life.
4:24Put away from yourself a perverse mouth.
Put corrupt lips far from you.
4:25Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Fix your gaze directly before you.
4:26Make the path of your feet level.
Let all of your ways be established.
4:27Don't turn to the right hand nor to the left.
Remove your foot from evil.
