Noah Webster's Bible 1833

   

22:1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
22:2Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
22:3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
22:4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
22:5Is not thy wickedness great? and thy iniquities infinite?
22:6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry.
22:8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
22:9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
22:10Therefore snares are around thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
22:11Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
22:12Is not God in the hight of heaven? and behold the hight of the stars, how high they are!
22:13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
22:14Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
22:15Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
22:16Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood!
22:17Who said to God, depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them!
22:18Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
22:19The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent deride them.
22:20Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
22:21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: by this good shall come to thee.
22:22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.
22:23If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
22:24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
22:25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
22:26For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God.
22:27Thou shalt make thy prayer to him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
22:28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
22:29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is exaltation; and he shall save the humble person.
22:30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thy hands.

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.
