현재완료적 고려를 기피하지 말라시는 하나님
2025.6.9
(잠23:1-35)
1 When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, 2 and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. 3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive. 4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. 5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. 6 Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies; 7 for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. "Eat and drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you. 8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments. 9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words. 10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless, 11 for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you. 12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. 13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. 14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death. 15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad; 16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. 17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. 18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. 19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path. 20 Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, 21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags. 22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. 23 Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding. 24 The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him. 25 May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice! 26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways, 27 for a prostitute is a deep pit and a wayward wife is a narrow well. 28 Like a bandit she lies in wait, and multiplies the unfaithful among men. 29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? 30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. 31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! 32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. 33 Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things. 34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging. 35 "They hit me," you will say, "but I'm not hurt! They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?"
오늘의 잠언을 통해 하나님은 내게
윗사람과 함께 할 때
예의예절(禮儀禮節)을
준수(遵守)하라 명(命)하신다
함께 식사시(食事時)
맛있게 보이는 음식이라도 상사(上司)가 좋아하는 음식이라면
재삼재사(再三再四) 젓가락을 그곳을 향하지 않도록 하라
상사(上司)의 언어가 겉과 속이 다를 수 있음을 유념하라는 말씀을 하신다
특별히 10절
‘Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless’
갑자기 땅 이야기로 넘어가심은
실제(實際)이며 또한 은유적표현(隱喩的表現) 이전부터 지켜내려온 전통인식예절(傳統認識禮節)을 무시(無視)하지 말고 적극고려(積極考慮)하며 절대로 선(線)을 넘지 말라는 표현인 것
그래서 13절부터 이어지는 자녀에 대한 언급
자식을 사랑한다면
예의를 절처하게 매를 들어서라도 가르쳐야 한다는 말씀
그래서 자녀의 앞날 슬기롭게 헤쳐 나가도록 도와줘야 한다는 말씀으로 해석된다
20절부터는 술과 친구에 대한 말씀을 하신다
과음과식폭주(過飮過食暴酒)를 하지 말고 말게 하라는 말씀
분수(分數) 절제(節制)를 통한 유익(有益)의 선(線)을 넘지 말도록 하라시는 말씀
그것이 하나님의 뜻이라는 말씀
26절의 말씀
‘My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways,’
마음을 달라시는 주님
주님의 하신 말씀대로 적용하며 살라시는 주님
그런데 속인(俗人)들은
하나님께 드려야 할 마음을 자기에게 달라한다
당연거절(當然拒絶)
십자가도(十字架道)의 우선순위(優先順位)부터 이뤄지면 비로소 되는 이치를 모르는 단순지식인(單純知識人)들을 보며 오늘도 아쉬움을 넘어 괴롭기까지 하다
예수님 인생들을 바라보며
얼마나 마음이 아프셨고
아프시고 아프실 것인가...
얼마 후면 불구덩이에 던져버려야 하는 그런 현실을 보며... 얼마나 괴로우실까... !!!
