Thank you for posting that, DE.

A lpt of Truth in there.

The old King James is more difficult to read than the so-called 'modern' versions.

That is a good thing, for me. Causes me to slow down, and increases the 'thinking' time for absorption. Too easy to read other versions; haste makes waste, eh ?

Proverbs 24:14 So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul: when thou hast found [it], then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.


And even the demoncraps are exposed, warned and rebuked:
Proverbs 17:7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

Proverbs 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
