■ 잠언 17장
1. 마른 떡 한 조각만 있고도 화목하는 것이 육선이 집에 가득하고 다투는 것보다 나으니라
Better is a dry morsel , and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife .
2. 슬기로운 종은 주인의 부끄러움을 끼치는 아들을 다스리겠고 또 그 아들들 중에서 유업을 나눠 얻으리라
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame , and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren .
3. 도가니는 은을, 풀무는 금을 연단하거니와 여호와는 마음을 연단하시느니라
The fining pot is for silver , and the furnace for gold : but the Lord trieth the hearts .
4. 악을 행하는 자는 궤사한 입술을 잘 듣고 거짓말을 하는 자는 악한 혀에 귀를 기울이느니라
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips ; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue .
5. 가난한 자를 조롱하는 자는 이를 지으신 주를 멸시하는 자요 사람의 재앙을 기뻐하는 자는 형벌을 면치 못할 자니라
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker : and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished .
6. 손자는 노인의 면류관이요 아비는 자식의 영화니라
Children’s children are the crown of old men ; and the glory of children are their fathers .
7. 분외의 말을 하는 것도 미련한 자에게 합당치 아니하거든 하물며 거짓말을 하는 것이 존귀한 자에게 합당하겠느냐
Excellent speech becometh not a fool : much less do lying lips a prince .
8. 뇌물은 임자의 보기에 보석 같은즉 어디로 향하든지 형통케 하느니라
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth , it prospereth .
9. 허물을 덮어 주는 자는 사랑을 구하는 자요 그것을 거듭 말하는 자는 친한 벗을 이간하는 자니라
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love ; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends .
10. 한 마디로 총명한 자를 경계하는 것이 매 백 개로 미련한 자를 때리는 것보다 더욱 깊이 박이느니라
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool .
11. 악한 자는 반역만 힘쓰나니 그러므로 그에게 잔인한 사자가 보냄을 입으리라
An evil man seeketh only rebellion : therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12. 차라리 새끼 빼앗긴 암콤을 만날지언정 미련한 일을 행하는 미련한 자를 만나지 말 것이니라
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man , rather than a fool in his folly .
13. 누구든지 악으로 선을 갚으면 악이 그 집을 떠나지 아니하리라
Whoso rewardeth evil for good , evil shall not depart from his house .
14. 다투는 시작은 방축에서 물이 새는 것 같은즉 싸움이 일어나기 전에 시비를 그칠 것이니라
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water : therefore leave off contention , before it be meddled with.
15. 악인을 의롭다 하며 의인을 악하다 하는 이 두 자는 다 여호와의 미워하심을 입느라
He that justifieth the wicked , and he that condemneth the just , even they both are abomination to the Lord .
16. 미련한 자는 무지하거늘 손에 값을 가지고 지혜를 사려 함은 어찜인고
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom , seeing he hath no heart to it?
17. 친구는 사랑이 끊이지 아니하고 형제는 위급한 때까지 위하여 났느니라
A friend loveth at all times , and a brother is born for adversity .
18. 지혜없는 자는 남의 손을 잡고 그 이웃 앞에서 보증이 되느니라
A man void of understanding striketh hands , and becometh surety in the presence of his friend .
19. 다툼을 좋아하는 자는 죄과를 좋아하는 자요 자기 문을 높이는 자는 파괴를 구하는 자니라
He loveth transgression that loveth strife : and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction .
20. 마음이 사특한 자는 복을 얻지 못하고 혀가 패역한 자는 재앙에 빠지느니라
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good : and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief .
21. 미련한 자를 낳는 자는 근심을 당하나니 미련한 자의 아비는 낙이 없느니라
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow : and the father of a fool hath no joy .
22. 마음의 즐거움은 양약이라도 심령의 근심은 뼈로 마르게 하느니라
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine : but a broken spirit drieth the bones .
23. 악인은 사람의 품에서 뇌물을 받고 재판을 굽게 하느니라
A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment .
24. 지혜는 명철한 자의 앞에 있거늘 미련한 자는 눈을 땅 끝에 두느니라
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding ; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth .
25. 미련한 아들은 그 아비의 근심이 되고 그 어미의 고통이 되느니라
A foolish son is a grief to his father , and bitterness to her that bare him.
26. 의인을 벌하는 것과 귀인을 정직하다고 때리는 것이 선치 못하니라
Also to punish the just is not good , nor to strike princes for equity .
27. 말을 아끼는 자는 지식이 있고 성품이 안존한 자는 명철하니라
He that hath knowledge spareth his words : and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit .
28. 미련한 자라도 잠잠하면 지혜로운 자로 여기우고 그 입술을 닫히면 슬기로운 자로 여기우느니라
Even a fool , when he holdeth his peace , is counted wise : and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding .

with—literally, "of."
strife—its product, or attendant.

【잠17:1 MHCC】These words recommend family love and peace, as needful for the comfort of human life.
【잠17:2 JFB】2. (Compare 잠14:35).
causeth shame—(잠10:5).
shall … inheritance—that is, share a brother's part (compare 민27:4, 7).
【잠17:2 MHCC】The wise servant is more deserving, and more likely to appear one of the family, than a profligate son.
【잠17:3 JFB】3. God only knows, as He tries (시12:6; 66:10) the heart.
【잠17:3 MHCC】God tries the heart by affliction. He thus has often shown the sin remaining in the heart of the believer.

【잠17:4 MHCC】Flatterers, especially false teachers, are welcome to those that live in sin.
【잠17:5 JFB】5. (Compare 잠14:31).
glad at calamities—rejoicing in others' evil. Such are rightly punished by God, who knows their hearts.
【잠17:5 MHCC】Those that laugh at poverty, treat God's providence and precepts with contempt.
【잠17:6 JFB】6. Prolonged posterity is a blessing, its cutting off a curse (잠13:22; 시109:13-15), hence children may glory in virtuous ancestry.
【잠17:6 MHCC】It is an honour to children to have wise and godly parents continued to them, even after they are grown up and settled in the world.
【잠17:7 JFB】7. Excellent speech—(Compare Margin). Such language as ill suits a fool, as lying (ought to suit) a prince (잠16:12, 13).
【잠17:7 MHCC】A fool, in Solomon's Proverbs, signifies a wicked man, whom excellent speech does not become, because his conversation contradicts it.
【잠17:8 JFB】8. One so corrupt as to take a bribe evinces his high estimate of it by subjection to its influence (잠18:16; 19:6).
【잠17:8 MHCC】Those who set their hearts upon money, will do any thing for it. What influence should the gifts of God have on our hearts!
【잠17:9 JFB】9. seeketh love—(Compare Margin). The contrast is between the peace-maker and tale-bearer.
【잠17:9 MHCC】The way to preserve peace is to make the best of every thing; not to notice what has been said or done against ourselves.
【잠17:10 JFB】10. Reproof more affects the wise than severe scourging, fools.
【잠17:10 MHCC】A gentle reproof will enter, not only into the head, but into the heart of a wise man.
【잠17:11 JFB】11. Such meet just retribution (왕상2:25).
a cruel messenger—one to inflict it.
【잠17:11 MHCC】Satan, and the messengers of Satan, shall be let loose upon an evil man.
【잠17:12 JFB】12. They are less rational in anger than wild beasts.
【잠17:12 MHCC】Let us watch over our own passions, and avoid the company of furious men.
【잠17:13 JFB】13. (Compare 시7:4; 35:12).
evil—injury to another (잠13:21).
【잠17:13 MHCC】To render evil for good is devilish. He that does so, brings a curse upon his family.
【잠17:14 JFB】14. letteth … water—as a breach in a dam.
before … meddled with—before strife has become sharp, or, by an explanation better suiting the figure, before it rolls on, or increases.
【잠17:14 MHCC】What danger there is in the beginning of strife! Resist its earliest display; and leave it off, if it were possible, before you begin.
【잠17:15 JFB】15. abomination … Lord—as reversing His method of acting (잠3:32; 12:2).
【잠17:15 MHCC】It is an offence to God to acquit the guilty, or to condemn those who are not guilty.
【잠17:16 JFB】16. Though wealth cannot buy wisdom for those who do not love it, yet wisdom procures wealth (잠3:16; 14:24).
【잠17:16 MHCC】Man's neglect of God's favour and his own interest is very absurd.
【잠17:17 JFB】17. To the second of these parallel clauses, there is an accession of meaning, that is, that a brother's love is specially seen in adversity.
【잠17:17 MHCC】No change of outward circumstances should abate our affection for our friends or relatives. But no friend, except Christ, deserves unlimited confidence. In Him this text did receive, and still receives its most glorious fulfilment.
【잠17:18 JFB】18. (Compare 잠6:1-5; 11:15).
in the presence, &c.—that is, he either fails to consult his friend, or to follow his advice.
【잠17:18 MHCC】Let not any wrong their families. Yet Christ's becoming Surety for men, was a glorious display of Divine wisdom; for he was able to discharge the bond.
【잠17:19 JFB】19. strife—contention is, and leads to, sin.
he that exalteth his gate—gratifies a vain love of costly building.
seeketh—or, "findeth," as if he sought (compare "loveth death," 잠8:36).
【잠17:19 MHCC】If we would keep a clear conscience and a quiet mind, we must shun all excitements to anger. And a man who affects a style of living above his means, goes the way to ruin.
【잠17:20 JFB】20. The second clause advances on the first. The ill-natured fail of good, and the cavilling and fault-finding incur evil.
【잠17:20 MHCC】There is nothing got by ill designs. And many have paid dear for an unbridled tongue.
【잠17:21 JFB】21. (Compare 잠23:24). Different words are rendered by "fool," both denoting stupidity and impiety.
【잠17:21 MHCC】This speaks very plainly what many wise and good men feel very strongly, how grievous it is to have a foolish, wicked child.
【잠17:22 JFB】22. (Compare 잠14:30; 15:13). The effect of the mind on the body is well known.
medicine—or, "body," which better corresponds with "bone."
drieth—as if the marrow were exhausted.
【잠17:22 MHCC】It is great mercy that God gives us leave to be cheerful, and cause to be cheerful, if by his grace he gives us hearts to be cheerful.
【잠17:23 JFB】23. a gift … bosom—Money and other valuables were borne in a fold of the garment, called the bosom.
to pervert—that is, by bribery.
【잠17:23 MHCC】The wicked are ready to part with their money, though loved, that they may not suffer for their crimes.
【잠17:24 JFB】24. Wisdom … him—ever an object of regard, while a fool's affections are unsettled.
【잠17:24 MHCC】The prudent man keeps the word of God continually in view. But the foolish man cannot fix his thoughts, nor pursue any purpose with steadiness.
【잠17:25 JFB】25. a grief—or cross, vexation (compare 잠17:21; 10:1).
【잠17:25 MHCC】Wicked children despise the authority of their father, and the tenderness of their mother.
【잠17:26 JFB】26. Also—that is, Equally to be avoided are other sins: punishing good subjects, or resisting good rulers.
【잠17:26 MHCC】It is very wrong to find fault for doing what is duty.
【잠17:27 JFB】27, 28. Prudence of speech is commended as is an excellent or calm spirit, not excited to vain conversation.
【잠17:27 MHCC】A man may show himself to be a wise man, by the good temper of his mind, and by the good government of his tongue. He is careful when he does speak, to speak to the purpose. God knows his heart, and the folly that is bound there; therefore he cannot be deceived in his judgment as men may be.
