Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 25:1 | These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. |
| 25:2 | It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. |
| 25:3 | The heaven for hight, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. |
| 25:4 | Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. |
| 25:5 | Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. |
| 25:6 | Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: |
| 25:7 | 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. |
| 25:8 | 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. |
| 25:9 | Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and reveal not a secret to another: |
| 25:10 | Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thy infamy turn not away. |
| 25:11 | A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. |
| 25:12 | As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. |
| 25:13 | 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. |
| 25:14 | Whoever boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. |
| 25:15 | By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. |
| 25:16 | Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled with it, and vomit it. |
| 25:17 | Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. |
| 25:18 | A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. |
| 25:19 | Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. |
| 25:20 | 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. |
| 25:21 | If thy enemy shall hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he shall thirst, give him water to drink: |
| 25:22 | For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee. |
| 25:23 | The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. |
| 25:24 | It is better to dwell in a corner of the house-top, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. |
| 25:25 | As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. |
| 25:26 | A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a turbid fountain, and a corrupt spring. |
| 25:27 | It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. |
| 25:28 | He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
