    Proverbs 12
    • 1   Whoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish.
    • 2   A good [man] obtaineth favor from the LORD: but a man of wicked devices he will condemn.
    • 3   A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
    • 4   A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
    • 5   The thoughts of the righteous [are] right: [but] the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit.
    • 6   The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
    • 7   The wicked are overthrown, and [are] not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
    • 8   A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
    • 9   [He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread.
    • 10   A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
    • 11   He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.
    • 12   The wicked desireth the net of evil [men]: but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
    • 13   The wicked is snared by the transgression of [his] lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
    • 14   A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered to him.
    • 15   The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth to counsel [is] wise.
    • 16   A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent [man] covereth shame.
    • 17   [He that] speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness, deceit.
    • 18   There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.
    • 19   The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.
    • 20   Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace [is] joy.
    • 21   There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
    • 22   Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.
    • 23   A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
    • 24   The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
    • 25   Heaviness in the heart of man depresseth it: but a good word maketh it glad.
    • 26   The righteous [is] more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
    • 27   The slothful [man] roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man [is] precious.
    • 28   In the way of righteousness [is] life; and [in] the path [of it there is] no death.

    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.
