Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 42:1 | Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. |
| 42:2 | He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. |
| 42:3 | A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth. |
| 42:4 | He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. |
| 42:5 | Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and expanded them; he that spread forth the earth, and that which it produceth; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein. |
| 42:6 | I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; |
| 42:7 | To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house. |
| 42:8 | I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. |
| 42:9 | Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. |
| 42:10 | Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and their inhabitants. |
| 42:11 | Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. |
| 42:12 | Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles. |
| 42:13 | The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yes, roar; he will prevail against his enemies. |
| 42:14 | I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. |
| 42:15 | I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers to be islands, and I will dry up the pools. |
| 42:16 | And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do for them, and not forsake them. |
| 42:17 | They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. |
| 42:18 | Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. |
| 42:19 | Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant? |
| 42:20 | Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. |
| 42:21 | The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable. |
| 42:22 | But this is a people robbed and pillaged; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. |
| 42:23 | Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken, and hear for the time to come? |
| 42:24 | Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law. |
| 42:25 | Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. |
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.
