Proverbs 23
- 1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee:
- 2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou [art] a man given to appetite.
- 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they [are] deceitful food.
- 4 Labor not to be rich: cease from thy own wisdom.
- 5 Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven.
- 6 Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties:
- 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.
- 8 The morsel [which] thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
- 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
- 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
- 11 For their redeemer [is] mighty; he will plead their cause with thee.
- 12 Apply thy heart to instruction, and thy ears to the words of knowledge.
- 13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
- 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
- 15 My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
- 16 Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
- 17 Let not thy heart envy sinners: but [be thou] in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
- 18 For surely there is an end; and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
- 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.
- 20 Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
- 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.
- 22 Hearken to thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
- 23 Buy the truth, and sell [it] not; [also] wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
- 24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise [child] shall have joy of him.
- 25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bore thee shall rejoice.
- 26 My son, give me thy heart, and let thy eyes observe my ways.
- 27 For a lewd woman [is] a deep ditch; and a strange woman [is] a narrow pit.
- 28 She also lieth in wait as [for] a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
- 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
- 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
- 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright.
- 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
- 33 Thy eyes shall behold strange women, and thy heart shall utter perverse things.
- 34 And thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
- 35 They have stricken me, [wilt thou say], [and] I was not sick; they have beaten me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

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
