    Ecclesiastes 4
    • 1   So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.
    • 2   Wherefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.
    • 3   Yes, better is [he] than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
    • 4   Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
    • 5   The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
    • 6   Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] toil and vexation of spirit.
    • 7   Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
    • 8   There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yes, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yes, it [is] a grievous labor.
    • 9   Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
    • 10   For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to help him to rise.
    • 11   Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
    • 12   And if one prevaileth against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
    • 13   Better [is] a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
    • 14   For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
    • 15   I considered all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
    • 16   [There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

    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.
