■ 잠언 2장
1. 내 아들아 네가 만일 나의 말을 받으며 나의 계명을 네게 간직하며
My son , if thou wilt receive my words , and hide my commandments with thee;
2. 네 귀를 지혜에 기울이며 네 마음을 명철에 두며
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom , and apply thine heart to understanding ;
3. 지식을 불러 구하며 명철을 얻으려고 소리를 높이며
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge , and liftest up thy voice for understanding ;
4. 은을 구하는 것 같이 그것을 구하며 감추인 보배를 찾는 것 같이 그것을 찾으면
If thou seekest her as silver , and searchest for her as for hid treasures ;
5. 여호와 경외하기를 깨달으며 하나님을 알게 되리니
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord , and find the knowledge of God .
6. 대저 여호와는 지혜를 주시며 지식과 명철을 그 입에서 내심이며
For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding .
7. 그는 정직한 자를 위하여 완전한 지혜를 예비하시며 행실이 온전한 자에게 방패가 되시나니
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous : he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly .
8. 대저 그는 공평의 길을 보호하시며 그 성도들의 길을 보전하려 하심이니라
He keepeth the paths of judgment , and preserveth the way of his saints .
9. 그런즉 네가 공의와 공평과 정직 곧 모든 선한 길을 깨달을 것이라
Then shalt thou understand righteousness , and judgment , and equity ; yea, every good path .
10. 곧 지혜가 네 마음에 들어가며 지식이 네 영혼에 즐겁게 될 것이요
When wisdom entereth into thine heart , and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul ;
11. 근신이 너를 지키며 명철이 너를 보호하여
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12. 악한 자의 길과 패역을 말하는 자에게서 건져내리라
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things ;
13. 이 무리는 정직한 길을 떠나 어두운 길로 행하며
Who leave the paths of uprightness , to walk in the ways of darkness ;
14. 행악하기를 기뻐하며 악인의 패역을 즐거워하나니
Who rejoice to do evil , and delight in the frowardness of the wicked ;
15. 그 길은 구부러지고 그 행위는 패역하리라
Whose ways are crooked , and they froward in their paths :
16. 지혜가 또 너를 음녀에게서, 말로 호리는 이방 계집에게서 구원하리니
To deliver thee from the strange woman , even from the stranger which flattereth with her words ;
17. 그는 소시의 짝을 버리며 그 하나님의 언약을 잊어버린 자라
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth , and forgetteth the covenant of her God .
18. 그 집은 사망으로, 그 길은 음부로 기울어졌나니
For her house inclineth unto death , and her paths unto the dead .
19. 누구든지 그에게로 가는 자는 돌아오지 못하며 또 생명길을 얻지 못하느니라
None that go unto her return again , neither take they hold of the paths of life .
20. 지혜가 너로 선한 자의 길로 행하게 하며 또 의인의 길을 지키게 하리니
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous .
21. 대저 정직한 자는 땅에 거하며 완전한 자는 땅에 남아 있으리라
For the upright shall dwell in the land , and the perfect shall remain in it.
22. 그러나 악인은 땅에서 끊어지겠고 궤휼한 자는 땅에서 뽑히리라
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth , and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

【잠2:1 JFB】잠2:1-22. Men are invited to seek wisdom because it teaches those principles by which they may obtain God's guidance and avoid the society and influence of the wicked, whose pernicious courses are described.
1-5. Diligence in hearing and praying for instruction must be used to secure the great principle of godliness, the fear of God.
hide … with thee—lay up in store (compare 잠7:1).
【잠2:1 CWC】The nature of this book makes divisions of its chapters rather arbitrary, and ours may not always be the best, but it is hoped it may prove useful in some degree. The opening of chapter four suggests a new beginning, for which reason we conclude this lesson at the close of chapter three.
It begins with an advertisement (1:1-6), in which mention is made of the author (v. 1), the object of the book (vv. 2, 3), and its great value (vv. 4-6).
Then follows its theme, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (v. 7), of which the remainder of the lesson is a development or exposition. "Beginning" is rendered in the margin of the Revised Version "chief part." "The fear of the Lord" means a right state of heart towards God as opposed to the condition of an unconverted man. Put the two ideas together, and we learn that the chief part of all knowledge is to be right with God. In working out of the thought:
1. The teacher exhorts his "son" or pupil, to avoid vice (1:8-19).
2. He shows the ruinous conduct of the unwise, a warning placed on the lips of wisdom personified (1:20-33).
3. This warning is accentuated by contrasting the consequences of obedience and a striving after wisdom (2:1-3).
4. The Lord is shown as the protector of those who are wise in this sense
(3:19-26).
5. The division concludes with an admonition to charity and justice (3: 27-35).
Practical and Doctrinal Remarks.
In this part of the lesson we call attention to particular verses for explanation or application, acknowledging indebtedness to Arnot's "Laws From Heaven for Life on Earth."
1:23 is a text for a revival sermon, containing a command and a promise joined, like 빌2:12. It teaches in one sentence those two seemingly contradictory doctrines, the sovereignty of God, and the free agency of man. It is when we turn at God's reproof that He pours out His Spirit; though it be also true that unless His Spirit is poured out we can not turn.
1:24-32 offers an opportunity to preach on God's mercy to a rebellious people. He calls, stretches out His hands, counsels, and administers reproof. On the other hand men refuse, disregard, set at nought, reject. The natural consequence follows; sowing disobedience they reap judgment. That judgment consists in calling on God and getting no answer, seeking diligently and not finding Him. The passage closes with a promise to them that hearken -- deliverance from death at last and freedom from fear now.
2:1-9 suggests Christ's words in 눅11:9, "Seek, and ye shall find." The seeking is in verses 1-4, the finding in verses 5-9.
2:10-22 is an outline of "the way of evil" (v. 12, R. V.). The first step is "speaking froward things"; the second, leaving "the paths of uprightness," the feet soon follow the tongue (v. 13); the third, walking "in the ways of darkness" (v. 13); the fourth, rejoicing "to do evil" (v. 14); fifth, delighting "in the frowardness of the wicked," we can not take pleasure in doing wickedness without finding pleasure in seeing others do it; sixth, to complete the picture, the evil person here particularly in mind is seen to be a woman (vv. 16-22).
3:5, 6 presents one of the strongest promises of the Bible -- the first text from which the author of this commentary ever preached. Note how we are to trust, "with all thine heart." God complains as much of a divided allegiance as of none. Note the extent of our trust, "in all thy ways." "Few will refuse to acknowledge a superintending providence at certain times, and in certain operations that are counted great," but God wants us to confide in Him in the little, close, and kindly things.
3:11, 12 is quoted in 히12:5, 6. Note there how the inspired writer interprets the phrase, "My son." The speaker in Proverbs may have been addressing a pupil merely, but the Holy Spirit through him, "speaketh unto you as unto sons."
"Despise not," means do not make light of chastening or cast it aside as if it had no meaning for you; "faint not" touches the opposite extreme, do not be driven to despair by the experience. "The middle way is the path of safety."
3:13-20 is a description and appreciation of wisdom, which throughout this book means piety or godliness. In Ecclestiastes it is science. And yet piety or godliness hardly expresses it in the highest sense in which it is sometimes found, where as for example in these verses, it suggests Christ. He is the wisdom of God as we learn in the New Testament, who, by the Holy Spirit through the holy Scriptures is made unto us wisdom (1 Cor. 2). Such wisdom can not be planned, much less created by us, but must be "found" or "gotten" (v. 13).
Observe the figures describing it. It is precious merchandise (vv. 14, 15). It is a way of honor, pleasantness and peace (vv. 16, 17). It is a tree of life (v. 18).
【잠2:1 MHCC】Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, 요6:27 Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment.
【잠2:2 JFB】2. Listen attentively and reflect seriously (잠1:24; 시130:2).
understanding—right perception of truth.
【잠2:3 JFB】3. Yea, if—literally, "When if," that is, in such a case.
knowledge—or, "discrimination."
understanding—as in 잠2:2.
【잠2:4 JFB】4. There must be earnest prayer and effort.
【잠2:5 JFB】5. understand—or, "perceive intelligently."
find—obtain.
【잠2:6 JFB】6. For—God is ready (약1:5; 4:8).
out of his mouth—by revelation from Him.
【잠2:7 JFB】7. sound wisdom—literally, "substance," opposed to what is fictitious. According to the context, this may be assistance, as here corresponding with
buckler—or safety, or wisdom, which procures it (compare 잠3:21; 8:14; 18:1; 욥6:13; 12:13).
layeth up—provides, ever ready.
【잠2:8 JFB】8. keepeth … way—God defends the right way, and those in it.
saints—objects of favor (compare 시4:3, &c.). He guides and guards them.
【잠2:9 JFB】9. Then—emphatic, in such a case.
righteousness … path—all parts of duty to God and man.
【잠2:10 JFB】10, 11. Idea of 잠2:9, amplified; on terms, compare 잠2:2 and 잠2:4.
【잠2:10 MHCC】If we are truly wise, we shall be careful to avoid all evil company and evil practices. When wisdom has dominion over us, then it not only fills the head, but enters into the heart, and will preserve, both against corruptions within and temptations without. The ways of sin are ways of darkness, uncomfortable and unsafe: what fools are those who leave the plain, pleasant, lightsome paths of uprightness, to walk in such ways! They take pleasure in sin; both in committing it, and in seeing others commit it. Every wise man will shun such company. True wisdom will also preserve from those who lead to fleshly lusts, which defile the body, that living temple, and war against the soul. These are evils which excite the sorrow of every serious mind, and cause every reflecting parent to look upon his children with anxiety, lest they should be entangled in such fatal snares. Let the sufferings of others be our warnings. Our Lord Jesus deters from sinful pleasures, by the everlasting torments which follow them. It is very rare that any who are caught in this snare of the devil, recover themselves; so much is the heart hardened, and the mind blinded, by the deceitfulness of this sin. Many think that this caution, besides the literal sense, is to be understood as a caution against idolatry, and subjecting the soul to the body, by seeking any forbidden object. The righteous must leave the earth as well as the wicked; but the earth is a very different thing to them. To the wicked it is all the heaven they ever shall have; to the righteous it is the place of preparation for heaven. And is it all one to us, whether we share with the wicked in the miseries of their latter end, or share those everlasting joys that shall crown believers?
【잠2:12 JFB】12-15. To deliver—as from great danger (잠6:5).
way … man—(시1:1).
froward things—perversity (잠6:14; 23:23), what is opposed to truth.
【잠2:13 JFB】13. paths of uprightness—or, "plainness."
walk—habitually act;
【잠2:14 JFB】14. and that with pleasure, in ignorance of good and pursuit of evil.
frowardness—Not only their own perversity, but that of others is their delight. They love most the worst things.
【잠2:15 JFB】15. crooked—tortuous, unprincipled.
froward—literally, (they) are going back, not only aside from right, but opposite to it.
【잠2:16 JFB】16-19. Deliverance from another danger.
the strange woman—This term is often used for harlot, or loose woman (유11:1, 2), married (잠7:5, 19) or not (왕상11:1), so called, because such were, perhaps at first, foreigners, though "strange" may also denote whatever is opposed to right or proper, as "strange fire" (민3:4); "strange incense" (출30:9).
flattereth—literally, "smooths."
her words—(시5:9).
【잠2:17 JFB】17. guide … youth—lawful husband (렘3:4).
covenant … God—of marriage made in God's name.
【잠2:18 JFB】18. inclineth—sinks down (compare 민13:31).
the dead—or shades of the departed (시88:10).
【잠2:19 JFB】19. that is, such as remain impenitent (compare 전7:26).
paths of life—(시16:11), opposed to paths unto the dead.
【잠2:20 JFB】20. That … way of good—that is, Such is the object of these warnings.
【잠2:21 JFB】21, 22. (Compare 시37:3, 9, 22, 27).
