Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 28:1 | The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. |
| 28:2 | For the transgression of a land many are its princes: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. |
| 28:3 | A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. |
| 28:4 | They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. |
| 28:5 | Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. |
| 28:6 | Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he is rich. |
| 28:7 | He who keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. |
| 28:8 | He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. |
| 28:9 | He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. |
| 28:10 | Whoever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. |
| 28:11 | The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor man that hath understanding searcheth him out. |
| 28:12 | When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. |
| 28:13 | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but he who confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
| 28:14 | Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. |
| 28:15 | As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. |
| 28:16 | The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. |
| 28:17 | A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. |
| 28:18 | He who walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. |
| 28:19 | He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. |
| 28:20 | A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. |
| 28:21 | To have respect of persons is not good: for, for a piece of bread that man will transgress. |
| 28:22 | He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. |
| 28:23 | He that rebuketh a man afterward shall find more favor than he that flattereth with the tongue. |
| 28:24 | He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. |
| 28:25 | He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. |
| 28:26 | He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. |
| 28:27 | He that giveth to the poor shall not want: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. |
| 28:28 | When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. |
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.
