Wine is a mocker , strong drink is raging : and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise .
2. 왕의 진노는 사자의 부르짖음 같으니 그를 노하게 하는 것은 자기의 생명을 해하는 것이니라
The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion : whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul .
3. 다툼을 멀리 하는 것이 사람에게 영광이어늘 미련한 자마다 다툼을 일으키느니라
It is an honour for a man to cease from strife : but every fool will be meddling .
4. 게으른 자는 가을에 밭 갈지 아니하나니 그러므로 거둘 때에는 구걸할지라도 얻지 못하리라
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold ; therefore shall he beg in harvest , and have nothing.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water ; but a man of understanding will draw it out .
6. 많은 사람은 각기 자기의 인자함을 자랑하나니 충성된 자를 누가 만날 수 있으랴
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness : but a faithful man who can find ?
7. 완전히 행하는 자가 의인이라 그 후손에게 복이 있느니라
The just man walketh in his integrity : his children are blessed after him.
8. 심판 자리에 앉은 왕은 그 눈으로 모든 악을 흩어지게 하느니라
A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes .
9. 내가 내 마음을 정하게 하였다 내 죄를 깨끗하게 하였다 할 자가 누구뇨
Who can say , I have made my heart clean , I am pure from my sin ?
10. 한결 같지 않은 저울 추와 말은 다 여호와께서 미워하시느니라
Divers weights , and divers measures , both of them are alike abomination to the Lord .
11. 비록 아이라도 그 동작으로 자기의 품행의 청결하며 정직한 여부를 나타내느니라
Even a child is known by his doings , whether his work be pure , and whether it be right .
12. 듣는 귀와 보는 눈은 다 여호와의 지으신 것이니라
The hearing ear , and the seeing eye , the Lord hath made even both of them.
13. 너는 잠자기를 좋아하지 말라 네가 빈궁하게 될까 두려우니라 네 눈을 뜨라 그리하면 양식에 족하리라
Love not sleep , lest thou come to poverty ; open thine eyes , and thou shalt be satisfied with bread .
14. 사는 자가 물건이 좋지 못하다 좋지 못하다 하다가 돌아간 후에는 자랑하느니라
It is naught , it is naught , saith the buyer : but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth .
15. 세상에 금도 있고 진주도 많거니와 지혜로운 입술이 더욱 귀한 보배니라
There is gold , and a multitude of rubies : but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel .
16. 타인을 위하여 보증이 된 자의 옷을 취하라 외인들의 보증이 된 자는 그 몸을 볼모잡힐지니라
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger : and take a pledge of him for a strange woman .

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man ; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel .

20. 자기의 아비나 어미를 저주하는 자는 그 등불이 유암 중에 꺼짐을 당하리라
Whoso curseth his father or his mother , his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness .
21. 처음에 속히 잡은 산업은 마침내 복이 되지 아니하느니라
An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning ; but the end thereof shall not be blessed .
22. 너는 악을 갚겠다 말하지 말고 여호와를 기다리라 그가 너를 구원하시리라

Mercy and truth preserve the king : and his throne is upholden by mercy .
29. 젊은 자의 영화는 그 힘이요 늙은 자의 아름다운 것은 백발이니라

【잠20:1 JFB】잠20:1-30.
1. mocker—scorner. Such men are made by wine.
strong drink—made by spicing wine (compare 사5:11, 22); and it may include wine.
raging—or boisterous as a drunkard.
deceived—literally, "erring," or reeling.
【잠20:1 CWC】In these chapters we have a series of exhortations to a life of godliness expressed in general terms about as follows:
(1) Confidence in God as a wise ruler, chapter 16.
(2) A disposition of peacefulness and contentment, chapter 17.
(3) The virtues of affability, fidelity, and others of a social nature, chapter 18.
(4) Humility and meekness, chapter 19.
(5) Sobriety, diligence and kindness, chapter 21.
(6) Justice, patience, submission, chapter 21.
(7) The attainment and preservation of a good name, chapter 22.
(8) Warnings against avarice, licentiousness, and similar vices, chapter 23.
(9) Warnings against ungodly companionship, chapter 24.
【잠20:1 MHCC】It seems hard to believe that men of the greatest abilities, as well as the ignorant, should render themselves fools and madmen, merely for the taste or excitement produced by strong liquors.
【잠20:2 JFB】2. (Compare 잠19:12). Men who resist authority injure themselves (롬13:2).
【잠20:2 MHCC】How formidable kings are to those who provoke them! how much more foolish then is it to provoke the King of kings!
【잠20:3 JFB】3. to cease from strife—or, better, "to dwell from or without strife," denoting the habit of life.
fool … meddling—(잠17:14).
【잠20:3 MHCC】To engage in quarrels is the greatest folly that can be. Yield, and even give up just demands, for peace’ sake.
【잠20:4 JFB】4. shall … beg—literally, "ask" (in this sense, 시109:10).
【잠20:4 MHCC】He who labours and endures hardship in his seed-time for eternity, will be properly diligent as to his earthly business.
【잠20:5 JFB】5. Counsel … water—that is, deeply hidden (잠18:4; 시13:2). The wise can discern well.
【잠20:5 MHCC】Though many capable of giving wise counsel are silent, yet something may be drawn from them, which will reward those who obtain it.
【잠20:6 JFB】6. Boasters are unreliable.
goodness—or, "kind disposition."
【잠20:6 MHCC】It is hard to find those that have done, and will do more good than they speak, or care to hear spoken of.
【잠20:7 JFB】7. The conduct of good men proclaims their sound principles. God's covenant and their good example secure blessing to their children (잠4:26; 시112:1, 2).
【잠20:7 MHCC】A good man is not liable to uneasiness in contriving what he shall do, or in reflecting on what he has done, as those who walk in deceit. And his family fare better for his sake.
【잠20:8 JFB】8. As in 잠14:35; 16:10, 15, this is the character of a good king, not of all kings.
【잠20:8 MHCC】If great men are good men, they may do much good, and prevent very much evil.
【잠20:9 JFB】9. The interrogation in the affirmative strengthens the implied negation (compare 욥15:14; 전7:20).
【잠20:9 MHCC】Some can say, Through grace, we are cleaner than we have been; but it was the work of the Holy Spirit.
【잠20:10 JFB】10. Various measures, implying that some are wrong (compare 잠11:1; 16:11).
【잠20:10 MHCC】See the various deceits men use, of which the love of money is the root. The Lord will not bless what is thus gotten.
【잠20:11 JFB】11. The conduct of children even is the best test of principle (compare 마7:16).
【잠20:11 MHCC】Parents should observe their children, that they may manage them accordingly.
【잠20:12 JFB】12. Hence, of course, God will know all you do (시94:9).
【잠20:12 MHCC】All our powers and faculties are from God, and are to be employed for him.
【잠20:13 JFB】13. Activity and diligence contrasted with sloth (잠6:9; 10:11).
lest … poverty—literally, "be deprived of inheritance."
【잠20:13 MHCC】Those that indulge themselves, may expect to want necessaries, which should have been gotten by honest labour.
【잠20:14 JFB】14. when … his way—implying that he goes about boasting of his bargains.
【잠20:14 MHCC】Men use arts to get a good bargain, and to buy cheap; whereas a man ought to be ashamed of a fraud and a lie.
【잠20:15 JFB】15. The contrast denotes the greater value of knowledge (compare 잠3:14-16).
【잠20:15 MHCC】He that prefers true knowledge to riches, follows the ways of religion and happiness. If we really believed this truth, the word of God would be valued as it deserves, and the world would lose its tempting influence.
【잠20:16 JFB】16. Take his garment—implies severe exaction, justified by the surety's rashness.
a strange woman—by some readings "strangers," but the former here, and in 잠27:13, is allowable, and strengthens the sense. The debauchee is less reliable than the merely careless.
【잠20:16 MHCC】Those ruin themselves who entangle themselves in rash suretiship. Also those who are in league with abandoned women. Place no confidence in either.
【잠20:17 JFB】17. Bread … sweet—either as unlawfully (잠9:17) or easily obtained.
mouth … gravel—well expresses the pain and grief given at last.
【잠20:17 MHCC】Wealth gotten by fraud may be sweet, for the carnal mind takes pleasure in the success of wicked devices; but it will be bitter in the reflection.
【잠20:18 JFB】18. (Compare 잠15:22). Be careful and considerate in important plans.
【잠20:18 MHCC】Especially we need advice in spiritual warfare. The word and Spirit of God are the best counsellors in every point.
【잠20:19 JFB】19. Those who love to tell news will hardly keep secrets.
flattereth … lips—(compare Margin;잠1:10).
meddle … him—literally, "join," or "associate with."
【잠20:19 MHCC】Those dearly buy their own praise, who put confidence in a man because he speaks fairly.
【잠20:20 JFB】20. his lamp—(Compare 잠13:9; 24:20).
【잠20:20 MHCC】An undutiful child will become very miserable. Never let him expect any peace or comfort.
【잠20:21 JFB】21. gotten hastily—contrary to God's providence (잠28:20), implying its unjust or easy attainment; hence the man is punished, or spends freely what he got easily (compare 잠20:17).
【잠20:21 MHCC】An estate suddenly raised, is often as suddenly ruined.
【잠20:22 JFB】22. (Compare 시27:14; 롬12:17-19).
【잠20:22 MHCC】Wait on the Lord, attend his pleasure, and he will protect thee.
【잠20:23 JFB】23. (Compare 잠20:10; 11:1).
【잠20:23 MHCC】A bargain made by fraud will prove a losing bargain in the end.
【잠20:24 JFB】24. Man's goings—literally, "Stately steppings of a strong man."
a man—any common man.
understand—or, "perceive."
【잠20:24 MHCC】How can we form plans, and conduct business, independently of the Lord?
【잠20:25 JFB】25. devoureth … holy—or, better, "who rashly speaks promises," or "devotes what is holy," consecrating any thing. This suits better the last clause, which expresses a similar view of the results of rashly vowing.
【잠20:25 MHCC】The evasions men often use with their own consciences show how false and deceitful man is.
【잠20:26 JFB】26. (Compare 잠20:8).
bringeth … over them—The wheel was used for threshing grain. The figure denotes severity (compare 암1:3).
【잠20:26 MHCC】Justice should crush the wicked, and separate them from the virtuous.
【잠20:27 JFB】27. The spirit … Lord—Men's minds are God's gifts, and thus able to search one another (compare 잠20:5; 잠18:8, 17; 고전2:11).
【잠20:27 MHCC】The rational soul and conscience are as a lamp within us, which should be used in examining our dispositions and motives with the revealed will of God.
【잠20:28 JFB】28. (Compare 잠3:3; 16:6, 12).
【잠20:28 MHCC】Mercy and truth are the glories of God's throne.
【잠20:29 JFB】29. The glory of young men … the beauty of old men—Each age has its peculiar excellence (잠16:31).
【잠20:29 MHCC】Both young and old have their advantages; and let neither despise or envy the other.
【잠20:30 MHCC】Severe rebukes sometimes do a great deal of good. But such is the corruption of nature, that men are loth to be rebuked for their sins. If God uses severe afflictions, to purify our hearts and fit us for his service, we have cause to be very thankful.
