    Proverbs 4
    • 1   Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
    • 2   For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
    • 3   For I was my father's son, tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.
    • 4   He taught me also, and said to me, Let thy heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
    • 5   Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
    • 6   Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
    • 7   Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
    • 8   Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
    • 9   She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
    • 10   Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
    • 11   I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
    • 12   When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
    • 13   Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; for she [is] thy life.
    • 14   Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil [men].
    • 15   Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
    • 16   For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.
    • 17   For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
    • 18   But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more to the perfect day.
    • 19   The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
    • 20   My son, attend to my words; incline thy ear to my sayings.
    • 21   Let them not depart from thy eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart.
    • 22   For they [are] life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
    • 23   Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.
    • 24   Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
    • 25   Let thy eyes look right on, and let thy eyelids look straight before thee.
    • 26   Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
    • 27   Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

    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.
