    Proverbs 26
    • 1   As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest; so honor is not seemly for a fool.
    • 2   As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
    • 3   A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
    • 4   Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like him.
    • 5   Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
    • 6   He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, [and] drinketh damage.
    • 7   The legs of the lame are not equal: so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
    • 8   As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that giveth honor to a fool.
    • 9   [As] a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so [is] a parable in the mouth of fools.
    • 10   The great [God] that formed all [things] both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
    • 11   As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly.
    • 12   Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him.
    • 13   The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion in the way; a lion [is] in the streets.
    • 14   [As] the door turneth upon its hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed.
    • 15   The slothful hideth [his] hand in [his] bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
    • 16   The sluggard [is] wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
    • 17   He that passeth by, [and] meddleth with strife [belonging] not to him, [is like] one that taketh a dog by the ears.
    • 18   As a mad [man] who casteth fire-brands, arrows, and death,
    • 19   So [is] the man [that] deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
    • 20   Where no wood is, [there] the fire goeth out: so where [there is] no tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.
    • 21   [As] coals [are] to burning coals, and wood to fire; so [is] a contentious man to kindle strife.
    • 22   The words of a tale-bearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
    • 23   Burning lips and a wicked heart [are like] a potsherd covered with silver dross.
    • 24   He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
    • 25   When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for [there are] seven abominations in his heart.
    • 26   [Whose] hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shown before the [whole] congregation.
    • 27   Whoever diggeth a pit shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
    • 28   A lying tongue hateth [those that are] afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

    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.
