Noah Webster's Bible 1833

   

5:1Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
5:2Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
5:3We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
5:4We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us.
5:5Our necks are under persecution: we labor, and have no rest.
5:6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
5:7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
5:8Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
5:9We procured our bread with the peril of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
5:10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
5:11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
5:12Princes were hanged by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.
5:13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
5:14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
5:15The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
5:16The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, that we have sinned!
5:17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
5:18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
5:19Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
5:20Why dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
5:21Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
5:22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

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.
