Proverbs 31
- 1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
- 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
- 3 Give not thy strength to women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
- 4 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
- 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
- 6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that are of heavy hearts.
- 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
- 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
- 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
- 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies.
- 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
- 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
- 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
- 14 She is like the merchant's ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
- 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
- 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
- 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
- 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise [is] good: her candle goeth not out by night.
- 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
- 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yes, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
- 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household [are] clothed with scarlet.
- 22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple.
- 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
- 24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth girdles to the merchant.
- 25 Strength and honor [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
- 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue [is] the law of kindness.
- 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
- 28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband [also], and he praiseth her.
- 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
- 30 Favor [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
- 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

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
