    Proverbs 18
    • 1   Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh [and] intermeddleth with all wisdom.
    • 2   A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may reveal itself.
    • 3   When the wicked cometh, [then] cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
    • 4   The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the well-spring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook.
    • 5   [It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
    • 6   A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
    • 7   A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
    • 8   The words of a tale-bearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
    • 9   He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
    • 10   The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
    • 11   The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
    • 12   Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor [is] humility.
    • 13   He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame to him.
    • 14   The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
    • 15   The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
    • 16   A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
    • 17   [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.
    • 18   The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
    • 19   A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.
    • 20   A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
    • 21   Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.
    • 22   [Whoever] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favor from the LORD.
    • 23   The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
    • 24   A man [that hath] friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.

    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.
