Ecclesiastes 10
- 1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an offensive odor: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honor.
- 2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart [is] at his left.
- 3 Also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool.
- 4 If the spirit of the ruler riseth against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offenses.
- 5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
- 6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
- 7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
- 8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
- 9 Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered by it.
- 10 If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
- 11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
- 12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
- 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
- 14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
- 15 The labor of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
- 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
- 17 Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
- 18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
- 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things].
- 20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber: for a bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.

Webster Bible Electronic Format.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
February 1992
Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.
I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.- Direction: LTR
