Noah Webster's Bible 1833
14:1 | O Israel, return to the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thy iniquity. |
14:2 | Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. |
14:3 | Ashur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. |
14:4 | I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for my anger is turned away from him. |
14:5 | I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. |
14:6 | His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. |
14:7 | They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon. |
14:8 | Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir-tree. From me is thy fruit found. |
14:9 | Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall in them. |
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.
