Noah Webster's Bible 1833
2:1 | Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, |
2:2 | And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardst my voice. |
2:3 | For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. |
2:4 | Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple. |
2:5 | The waters encompassed me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head. |
2:6 | I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. |
2:7 | When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple. |
2:8 | They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. |
2:9 | But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. |
2:10 | And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
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.
