Of the Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders? For those interested, Matthew 7:24-27: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-Chapter-7/ Added: Not quoted because of TOS concerns. This way, those who wish can more easily ignore it. |

Neat. That's a profound chapter, very idea-dense. So many well-known sayings, principles, etc., in one chapter. So what are the fruits of Windows? Viruses, trojans, botnets? |

> That's a profound chapter, very idea-dense. Yep, but as I added above, given the source, it's best not to quote it directly here. This way, those interested can follow the link while those who aren't can ignore it. I hope it meets with editorial approval. |

I think that the King James version meets the generally regarded 'Great Books' definition for the English language, along with things like the works of Shakespeare. It is worth reading for the use of the language alone, regardless of the TOS type content. National Geographic did a great article on the KJV: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/12/king-james-bible/n... Pay special attention attention to the 'wicked' version. |

> I think that the King James version meets the generally regarded 'Great Books' definition for the English language... I don;t think there's much doubt about that. It's a wonder of the English language. |
