    Proverbs 25
    • 1   These [are] also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
    • 2   [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings [is] to search out a matter.
    • 3   The heaven for hight, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings [is] unsearchable.
    • 4   Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
    • 5   Take away the wicked [from] before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
    • 6   Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great [men]:
    • 7   For better [it is] that it be said to thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thy eyes have seen.
    • 8   Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
    • 9   Debate thy cause with thy neighbor [himself]; and reveal not a secret to another:
    • 10   Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thy infamy turn not away.
    • 11   A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.
    • 12   [As] an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, [so is] a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
    • 13   As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, [so is] a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
    • 14   Whoever boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain.
    • 15   By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
    • 16   Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled with it, and vomit it.
    • 17   Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and [so] hate thee.
    • 18   A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor [is] a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
    • 19   Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble [is like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
    • 20   [As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre; so [is] he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
    • 21   If thy enemy shall hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he shall thirst, give him water to drink:
    • 22   For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.
    • 23   The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
    • 24   [It is] better to dwell in a corner of the house-top, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
    • 25   [As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from a far country.
    • 26   A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as] a turbid fountain, and a corrupt spring.
    • 27   [It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to search their own glory [is not] glory.
    • 28   He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.

    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.
