Advice, Book of Proverbs

Of what use is money in the hands of fools when they have no heart to acquire wisdom?

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 16

[17:16] The exhortation to acquire or purchase wisdom is common in Proverbs. Fools misunderstand the metaphor, assuming they can buy it with money. Their very misunderstanding shows they have no “heart” = mind, understanding. Money in the hand is no good without such a “heart” to store it in.

지혜를 산다 해도 깨달음이 없으니 우둔한 자의 손에 돈이 있다 한들 무엇하랴?

Advice, Book of Proverbs

Whoever acquits the wicked, whoever condemns the just—both are an abomination to the LORD.

Strife, Book of Proverbs

The start of strife is like the opening of a dam; check a quarrel before it bursts forth!

싸움의 시작은 물꼬를 트는 것. 다툼이 일어나기 전에 그만두어라.

Advice, Book of Proverbs

If you return evil for good, evil will not depart from your house.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 13

[17:13] The paradox is that to pay out evil for good means that the evil will never leave one’s own house.

선을 악으로 갚는 자 그의 집에서는 악이 떠나가지 않는다.

Advice, Book of Proverbs

Face a bear robbed of her cubs, but never fools in their folly!

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 12

[17:12] Humorous hyperbole. An outraged dangerous beast poses less danger than a fool.

새끼 잃은 암곰과 마주칠지언정 미련함을 고집하는 바보는 만나지 마라.

Advice, Book of Proverbs

The wicked pursue only rebellion, and a merciless messenger is sent against them.

+ Book of Proverbs 17, 11

[17:11] The irony is that such people will meet up with what they so energetically pursue—in the form of an unrelenting emissary sent to them.

악인은 반란만을 꾀하다가 잔인한 사신의 방문을 받는다.
