Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 27:1 | Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. |
| 27:2 | Let another man praise thee, and not thy own mouth; a stranger, and not thy own lips. |
| 27:3 | A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both. |
| 27:4 | Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? |
| 27:5 | Open rebuke is better than secret love. |
| 27:6 | Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. |
| 27:7 | The full soul lotheth a honey-comb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
| 27:8 | As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. |
| 27:9 | Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. |
| 27:10 | Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off. |
| 27:11 | My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. |
| 27:12 | A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. |
| 27:13 | Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. |
| 27:14 | He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. |
| 27:15 | A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. |
| 27:16 | Whoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which bewrayeth itself. |
| 27:17 | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| 27:18 | He that keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit of it: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored. |
| 27:19 | As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. |
| 27:20 | Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
| 27:21 | As the fining-pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. |
| 27:22 | Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet his foolishness will not depart from him. |
| 27:23 | Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. |
| 27:24 | For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? |
| 27:25 | The plant appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. |
| 27:26 | The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. |
| 27:27 | And thou shalt have goats milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for maintenance for thy maidens. |
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.
