잠26:1 미련한 자
잠26:1 미련한 자를 변호하지 말라
26:1Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,
So honor is not fitting for a fool.
26:2Like a fluttering sparrow,
Like a darting swallow,
So the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest.
26:3A whip for the horse,
A bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the back of fools!
26:4Don't answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.
26:5Answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
26:6One who sends a message by the hand of a fool
Is cutting off feet and drinking violence.
26:7Like the legs of the lame that hang loose:
So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
26:8As one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool.
26:9Like a thornbush that goes into the hand of a drunkard,
So is a parable in the mouth of fools.
26:10As an archer who wounds all,
Or he who hires those who pass by.
26:11As a dog that returns to his vomit,
So is a fool who repeats his folly.
26:12Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
잠26:13 게으른 자의 특징
26:13The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road!
A fierce lion roams the streets!"
26:14As the door turns on its hinges,
So does the sluggard on his bed.
26:15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish.
He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
26:16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who answer with discretion.
26:17Like one who grabs a dog's ears
Is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
26:18Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,
26:19Is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "Am I not joking?"
잠26:20 다툼에 대한 경고
26:20For lack of wood a fire goes out;
Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
26:21As coals are to hot embers,
And wood to fire,
So is a contentious man to kindling strife.
26:22The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
They go down into the innermost parts.
26:23Like silver dross on an earthen vessel
Are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
26:24A malicious man disguises himself with his lips,
But he harbors evil in his heart.
26:25When his speech is charming, don't believe him;
For there are seven abominations in his heart:
26:26His malice may be concealed by deception,
But his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
26:27Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it.
Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
26:28A lying tongue hates those it hurts;
And a flattering mouth works ruin.
