Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 9:1 | Wisdom hath built her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: |
| 9:2 | She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. |
| 9:3 | She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, |
| 9:4 | Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, |
| 9:5 | Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. |
| 9:6 | Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. |
| 9:7 | He that reproveth a scorner, getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. |
| 9:8 | Reprove not a scorner, lest he shall hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. |
| 9:9 | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. |
| 9:10 | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. |
| 9:11 | For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. |
| 9:12 | If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. |
| 9:13 | A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. |
| 9:14 | For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, |
| 9:15 | To call passengers who go right on their ways: |
| 9:16 | Whoever is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, |
| 9:17 | Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. |
| 9:18 | But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. |
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.
